Thanks to all of you who answered. I am amazed to receive such helpful advice so quickly.
Gain of Marantz PM-11S1 MC stage
Not sure if this should go under Analog or Amps/Preamps, but I am planning to go from a moving magnet cartridge to moving coil. My integrated amp, Marantz PM-11S1, has a moving coil input, but I am not sure whether it can handle a low output MC cartridge. Does anybody know?
I am thinking something like a Benz ACE S low output or Dynavector 20X for a VPI Scoutmaster with JMW-9 Signature tonearm. Any advice would be appreciated.
The only specs I can find for the phono stage of this amp are as follows:
Input sensitivity/Input impedance
PHONO (MC) ............... 270μV/100Ω
PHONO (MM) ..................3mV/47kΩ
BALANCED ................. 240mV/20kΩ
CD/LINE .................. 240mV/20kΩ
Output voltage/Output impedance
PR........................ 1.9 V/220Ω
Maximum allowed PHONO input (1kHz)
MC ......................... 12mV
MM ........................ 130mV
RIAA deviation (20Hz ~ 20kHz)...... ±0.5dB
S/N (IHF-A, 1W, 8Ω load)
PHONO (MC) ............... 76dB (0.5mV input)
PHONO (MM) ............... 90dB (5mV input)
BALANCED ................. 95dB (500mV input)
CD/LINE .................. 96dB (500mV input)
