Most Grado's are not very "hot" in terms of output. They are measurably higher in output than most MC's but lower than many MM's. If you use the MC input, you will probably end up over-driving the preamp, causing noticeable distortion. This would become more apparent on records that are higher in output or during high amplitude peaks.
Out of curiosity, do you know what model Grado you have and what the gain of the phono stage on your DR6 is rated at? Sean
