• I'll adjust tracking force later (this is also recommended in thr manual)

    Didn't know you could run an MC cart into an MM stage if it's high enough output, I'll check the specs later.

    @ChasnotRobert It's a wired input from Spartan to one of the A10s, which are connected to each other through WiFi rather than bluetooth. Would the onboard DAC contribute in some way to a dirty/distorted treble?

  • They are normally referred to as High Output or HOMC carts

    Things like the denon dl110

  • MC cartridge needs RIAA decoding + gain - MM stage is RIAA, gain can be step up transformer or amplifier based. Yep, there are high outputs MCs, like the DL110 mentioned.

  • Would the onboard DAC contribute in some way to a dirty/distorted treble?

    what i was suggesting is you have limited resolution out of those speakers and sometimes a compressed source such as digital over Bluetooth can sound easier to listen to in this type of set up if you are a-b comparing digital to analogue.

    others have been far more helpful on how to get the best out of your turntable.
