Joule phono stage/ Enough gain for .2mv cartridge


Wondering if anyone knows if the LA-150P would have enough gain for Koetsu Jade. Has anyone had success with the Joule phono stage running any cartridge with this low of an output. FWIW, I believe the Jade is speced at .25mv

Thanks Sounds real audio. Did you or any of your customers use something comparable to the Jade with the Joule's phono section.
Thanks for that info Raul. FWIW, I do not own the LA-150II, but have been considering trying it. I am trying to gather canditates in the 8-12K range which will have the gain for .25mv cartridges. I am thinking tube, with the flexibility of adjustable loading. I know there are a few units that also allow the bypassing of the built in transformers. The EAR units come to mind first. Granted, I may not find a unit that will have enough gain without using the transformer. However, that option will be there in case I ad or move to, say a .4 or .5 mv cartridge.
