KOETSU VERMILION and audio research PH7


HelloI would like to get a Koetsu Vermilion but I don't know if my phono stage audio research PH7 will do the work due to the 0.2mV. I've got a zyx OMEGA and Ortofon cadenza Black, and for me the 58db of my PH7 is enough,,, so with vermilion ???
Your opinions ?

The Urushi Vermillion spec is .4 mv so would work.  If .2 mv it would not.  I owned the PH-7 for years so the answer is easy - upgrade the phono pre instead.  I went Herron and it spanked the poor old PH-7 (NOS Telefunkens) without mercy.  
Well, I checked here

but their info is wrong. Bad luck.
Please consider that your $6000 PH-7 is about 12 years old and performs very poorly against today’s offerings at half the price.
