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?
