Will I need A moving coil set up device?

I am considering buying A Conrad johnson premier 3 preamp. Stereophile reviewed it using A moving coil device saying,(the premier three used with the HV-la has just enough gain so that you can use it with any moving coil cartage with A minimum of 2mv output.) I have A benz micro MC with 4mv output. I am also concerned with the asking price of $1250. and the availability of tubes.

Bheld --- You didnt mention which Benz cartridge you intend on using.Are you sure the output is 4 mV or is it possibly 0.4mV. 4mV for a MC is high
The tubes used in the Premier 3 are common and you shouldn't
have a problem replacing them.

Or, if you still want to purchase the CJ premier 3 you might want to look at the Bobs Devices site.I do not have any experience with his SUT's but I am told they cant be beat at the price.Best of luck in your decision
