I looked their website and it says that it has both MM and MC inputs. The Sumiko Blackbird would be too much for the MC input but a good match for the MM.
The circuitry in the X-LPSV3 is similar to that used in expensive electronics. The RIAA is very accurate, the noise ratio is excellent and overload margins are good. Generally, its technical performance on both MM and MC is equal to some highly expensive stand-alone phono stages. Subjectives are personal, but we think that the X-LPSV3 will stand comparison with the best. It doesn't have a high price tag so many will not even look or listen to this little marvel. Forget the price and listen to the music.
Separate dedicated MM and MC inputs. Allows use of either cartridge type for the best possible results.
Wide overload margin. Extended headroom allows effortless handling of transients and dynamics.
Sophisticated PCB layout, with very close attention given to optimising circuit layout, the result of 30 years' experience with phono. Low noise, low distortion and accurate RIAA gives a dynamic crystalline sound.
Very low noise circuits. Maximum available dynamic range and low level detail resolution.
MM input
Sensitivity 3mV for 350mV output at 1kHz
Input impedance 47K Ohms
THD < 0.01% at 1kHz, 350mV out
Input overload margin 30dB
Signal / Noise ratio > 75dB unweighted
> 83dB 'A' weighted
MC input
Sensitivity 350µV for 350mV output at 1kHz
Input impedance 100 Ohms
THD < 0.01% at 1kHz, 350mV out
Input overload margin 30dB
Signal / Noise ratio > 65dB unweighted
> 74dB 'A' weighted
