2.4mV with 46dB gain will give you 400mV
0.4mV with 66dB gain will give you twice that.
Ref. Vinyl Engine.
You could also get a higher output MM where 4.5mV beats both at 46dB gain.
Would changing to a MC solve my problem?
Not getting enough gain with my Hegel V10 phono stage. I have a MM cart at the moment.
The question is this:
Would a MC cart with .4mV and phono stage with 66db of gain play louder than a MM with an output of 2.4mV and Gain of 46dB?
I'm sure there are calculators out there, but haven't found them yet.
