You will like that cart, I like the top slightly bright and used 220pf 150k load. However 150pf 150k may be ideal.
I used mylar caps and implemented the subsonic filter on my board.
I am going to get an ML tip but the Conical is sounding really good.

Yes stocktrader200 , I am very curious to listen to it with some of my favorite records.
I read that after about twenty hours it stabilizes and sounds even better. We'll see.
Since you're talking about it, the next cartridge I would like to buy (later...), is the VM540ML (precisely, a Micro Line).
It too, in its price range (around 240 euros), seems to be a great cartridge, but certainly more demanding than the VM95C.

Vm540ML will require you to adjust the capacitance and also the load resistor.
47k 68k 100k and 47p.100p 150p 220p
As I am tuning my preamp for the Vm95 body , I will use the ML stylus for that cartridge.

Short update.
Revision 0.1b of MarcelvdG's circuit with High-Pass filter.
It seems pretty good to me.
What do you think?
Revision 0.1b of MarcelvdG's circuit with High-Pass filter.
- I added the 3x DIP switch to the schematic to select the input capacitance.
- I created a multiple footprint of the 2.2uF input capacitor, capable of accommodating most of the medium-sized polypropylene and film capacitors.
- The headers for the selection (via single Jumper) of the filter slope near the OP-Amp, are with 1.27mm pitch.
It seems pretty good to me.

Hi mlloyd1 and MarcelvdG 🙂
Thanks a lot for checking.
Today I fixed small defects of the silkscreens, added the ground plane on the bottom and spaced the positive input pins (L and R) to 32 mm.
And this is also the recommended size for the RCA input connector holes on the rear panel, to keep the cable connection points very close.
I attach the last layout preview, then in the next few days I will prepare the files for printing.
The last SMD components ordered, should be available at JLCPCB in early May.
As soon as I have them all, I will proceed.
I was forgetting to say hello and thank arjen6t8 and twitchie too! 😉
