If he is getting 2.5V of output from it then it must be a ceramic cartridge. I doubt if any magnetic cartridge would be happy in an arm like that. If he likes the sound then he obviously is not a reggae or organ fan, as there will be little coming out below 1kHz. The ceramic coupling capacitors may add a little 'warmth'.
