Gain for VPI Companion with supplied Grado Statement Sonata 1.5mV

Thank you. Apparently, it is something new from Grado, a medium output moving iron, supposedly specially made and especially suitable for the arm on the Classic Companion. A Classic Companion is a Classic 2 with a gimbaled arm instead of the uni-pivot one. (I didn't like the JMW arm on my Scoutmaster for all the years I had it - I know many liked it, but I did not)

  The Cartridge, Grado Companion: 

• Custom made Grado for VPI. 
• 1.5 millivolt output.
• Very low inductance, works right into a moving coil input.
• Stylus and cantilever from the Grado Statement Sonata.
• Replaceable stylus assembly. You can replace or you can upgrade! 
• Threaded aluminum mounting plate for damping, mass, and ease of installation.

Not new.It has been around for years.

Good!  Then I would feel just about certain that you'll have no problem.

I feel better. Don't wanna new phono preamp, sounds like I don't need one. Thanks to everyone.
