So presumably I would use the MC inputs, even though I have a MM cart, which would provide more gain without any loading issues because I can select 47k? Curious what the overload limit spec means.
Phono Preamp Settings/Question - Help Please
Hello, I'm considering purchasing a Musical Fidelity MX-VYNL phono pre, however I'm having a terrible time figuring out if this unit is compatible with the rest of my system. My cart is a Nagoaka MP-200 (4mv) and I am using a passive preamp into an amplifier with 26db of gain. I've calculated that I need 53.4db of gain to get a full 2v ouput from the preamp. I can't read this spec sheet... usually phono preamps have a list of db step-up settings however I cant find them here.... am I missing something? Not by any means an expert but I know enough that I need to get this right. Likely will be running the balanced outputs.
Thanks for any help/insight!

Correct, as to whether you will have enough headroom I suspect it will be fine as long as your record diet is not primarily house 12” singles (see here for a discussion of what the 1kHz 5 cm/sec means https://repforums.prosoundweb.com/index.php?topic=26987.0) i do worry however about high frequencies which per RIAA standard are 20dB up on 1kHz, you’ve only got 10dB of headroom but how many tracks have full scale recordings at 10kHz and up? Let’s suggest you steer clear of test records! |
