Replacement of
cartridge
{ .
Although this unit comes equipped with a high performance
MM cartridge as standard equipment, it is also possible to use
any other kind of plug-in connector type hi-fi cartridge.
However, if you mount the Technics EPS-310MC moving
cartridge, a separate MC pre-preamp is required to boost the
signal before it is sent to the preamplifier. We recommend that
you use the Technics SU-300MC pre-preamp.
