VTL Super Deluxe PR-1- how much MC gain?


I am considering purchasing a VTL Super Deluxe PR-1 (dual mono) preamp w/MC phono stage to use with my Denon DL-S1 cart, VTL Tiny Triode monoblocks and 94db efficient Dunlavy IV's.

Does anyone tell me how much gain is provided by the Super Deluxe MC section? After lots of experimentation with my Jolida phono stage, I've determined that I need 57.5-60db of gain to incorporate into my current system without using additional step-up.

As we all know by now, the current VTL and Manley companies will not provide information on these older models.

Thanks in advance.

Most all MC phono stages should provide 60db of gain. I wouldn't worry. Regards,
