Will this sensitivity for a MC input on an amp be enough for my cartridge?

I am considering buying the new McIntosh MA12000 integrated amp to replace my Audio Research PH6 and Pass Labs INT-150. McIntosh does not show the MC input gain, but only shows a .3mv "sensitivity". My phono cartridge is a Koetsu Rosewood Signature with an output of .4mv. My present set up is just adequate for volume. My question is, would the MA12000 be able to match or better the gain of my current setup? Thanks.

@bestgroove

McIntosh are bought only for the aesthetic appeal not for how they sound! LOL

that statement is a little strong, but certainly macs are designed for eye as well as ear appeal... no denying that... such is true for many a high end hifi brand...

what miller said

arc ph6 will not be matched for sound quality by a phono stage in a mac integrated

not even in the same zip code
