I would suggest to anyone considering buying a new cartridge to get something over 5mV as it seems that the lower the output, the more hiss you will hear.
Just my two penn'orth!
I suspect you might be spot on here, my Dynavector XX2mk2 is only 0.28mV, I think if it had double that output and I would be OK with the hiss level, but very low output cartridges are a problem.
