Thank you. I am going to try the phono preamp.
Will a MC phono preamp overload and distort with a higher output MC cartridge?
I have a Benz Micro high output moving coil cartridge which specs listing an output of 1.6 mv into 500 to 47K load. This is a little weak to drive a MM phono preamp. I have been looking at the HiFi Tube Phono MC Turntable Mini Class A single-ended preamp which lists an input sensitivity of 0.3 to 0.5 mv. Would my Benz Micro overdrive this preamp into distortion or does the sensitivity refer to something less than maximum cartridge output?
