Most importantly, the MC carts have much lower output voltage than the MM types. Typically about 1/10th. Hence, you need 20dB more in phonostage gain.
Common values are phono gain of 40dB for MM and 60dB for MC. This can vary a bit. There are even "high output" MCs that have output signals similar to MM.
