Yes, the phono stage that is labeled as "MM" has inadequate gain, but... - Lew 13:14:24 02/16/20 (3)

Not an expert but input sensitivity should be considered - Goober58 18:18:28 02/16/20 (2)

Dynavector makes one - Goober58 14:25:58 02/14/20 (0)

I second the SUT option - NuWave 12:45:08 02/14/20 (7)

An SUT might be way overkill - Lew 12:49:43 02/14/20 (6)

You CAN do all that you say, but... - Lew 08:39:32 02/16/20 (0)

no way that's fine - NuWave 13:22:25 02/14/20 (3)

For 62 dB gain???? - Opus 33 1/3 04:56:43 02/14/20 (10)

Well, for years I ran my Dyna 20XL into a phono preamp with 60 dB gain. - Opus 33 1/3 10:50:58 02/14/20 (0)

It's a typo, should be 42db, please see link. - viridian 06:49:27 02/14/20 (7)

Speaking of semantics - 1973shovel 07:46:53 02/14/20 (6)

Back to the main question... - Lew 12:37:32 02/14/20 (4)

IMHO, the issue will be noise as well as drive. nt - viridian 12:39:28 02/14/20 (1)

If the C28 is typically "quiet",... - Lew 12:48:23 02/14/20 (0)

Im still using a ceramic cartridge. Nt - viridian 10:49:35 02/14/20 (0)
