Thanks - I absolutely get hiss, starts about -20 on the volume control. Interestingly if I pretend to have a higher output MC (i.e. dial up the max output of the cartridge on the RAM screen, I can hear the hiss start to drop) - so I wondered if a Hana or a Lyra which are 0.5mV might be better
The wild card would be to switch to a Ortofon 2m Black and try to sell my cartridge, but I have an attachment to MC for sentimental reasons.....
I think the bigger amps (D1000 + O d'A) seem to suffer much less from hiss, perhaps the phono is different there
