1.2mV is very low for a high output MC.

Much better via the MC input. Now I just need to fix the hum (grounding issue).
Turned out to be a ground loop (turntable motor controller and phono stage). Fixed now.
Actually sounds rather nice now!

A modest but rock solid Pioneer PL-600X. With me since 1986... My wife's born 1987... It's all about relationships...

Grossly under-appreciated at the time! We were all told (in the UK, anyway) to rush out and buy Dual 505s, but the average Japanese DD was much better...

A "vintage" 1970's Thorens TD160, refurbished to new, fited with a SME II "improved" tornarm and a SHURE V15 III + JICO SAS....
(the Phono Preamp is a nice EAT E-Glo Petit... tubes based of course)
This turnable system is a very nice Analog source to complement my digital Aurender W20 music server/streamer. And it sound very very good with my BHSE tube amp /Stax SR009s headphone.
And I just got some audiophiles Vinyls to start with... and to compare to their digital versions already on my Aurender's HD.
I am now ready for my 15+ days lockup at home. . .

Any modifications to the arm? I presume you are using the original knife-edge bearing...
Which arm cable are you using?
Yes the SME is stock. I just had the internal wire done new, and the cartridge wired changed for a nice Audio Technica OCC Leads
I think I will however have the SME "upgraded". I contacted a german company that tweak the SME with new bearing and other stuff, analogtubeaudio.de, but they did not answered back ! .
--> Do you know other company that tweek or upgrade the SME ? I will be interested if you have infos or advices to how to improve me SME ... ?
