Appropriate cartridge

[musiciseverything]

Fresh off the addition of the PJCCS to my Quickie, I'm curious about this phono. I'm using a Graham Slee phono amp and it's good but the background noise is a little high. It's the Gold Era V. I'm using a MMF-7 table with its Goldring Eroica HO cartridge. The specs are below. What are your thoughts on matching this table and cart with the zeros?

Dear musiciseverything;

I use the Eros with a VPI 19 table and a BPS EVO lll, which has an output of 2.5mv; and the combination is wonderful in every way. My Eros was built by Paul Birkeland of BH Customs and has CuTf V-Caps which are a worthwhile upgrade if you want more than stock.

Cheers, Hank

Very kind of you to respond.  That's good to know.  I will consider the kit now, if I can get enough money for my Graham Slee.  Thanks very much.
