Buy the Bellari MT502 stepup transformer ($499). Made here in the USA. This will boost your MC's output to 4 mv - a more practical level for use with the MM phono stage! I own one and can recommend it!
Phonostage preamp HELP
All -
I just purchased a Clearaudio Innovation with a Koetsu Black cartridge. I currently have a Manley Chinook phono preamp. Give the Koetsu is rated at .4mv, I’m not getting the volume/Headroom I had previously with my Soundsmith Aida which was a high output moving iron. I love the sound of the Koetsu but I need more juice! Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Did you change the gain setting to 60db in the Chinook? If not give that a try! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/582f5ce4e4fcb562b921bdc3/t/58faa4ec17bffc5918c37f73/149282123... |
