Gain for HO MC or MM cartridge?


How much gain are users of high output MC or MM, or MI cartridges using? Is 40-50DB gain from the phonostage to much for cartridges ranging from 2.5 to 5.0 output? Personal experiences would be great.
Thank you.

I've used 40 db phono stage gain with cartridges rated at 3.5 and 5.0 mv, with line stage gains ranging from 12 to 21 db. Results have been fine in all cases.
