I experience hiss from either the Ortofon Cadenza Black at .30mv and the Dynavector DRT XV-1s at .33mv on my 250. But I need to state that when the needles down it seems to all but disappear. Quiet moments are almost if not black by which I mean totally quiet.
Hiss is there from -30 to -15 at which time it becomes more noticeable from my seating position. Any sound level above that with the needle OFF the vinyl it's quite obvious. I want to be clear that when the needle is on the vinyl I don't hear any hiss from my seating position no matter how quiet the music passage is.
For me I've stepped back from trying to remove this annoyance (for now). Once the cartridge is tracking on the vinyl I truly appreciate the Devialet phono section (with either of these two cartridges).
