Yamaha as-3000 with Denon dL-103R low output MC cartridges

Hi all, 
I own Yamaha as-3000, and I planned to buy Denon dl-103r low output MC cartridge to listen to vocals.
My concern is that can As-3000’s built-in mc phono stage put dl-103r to it’s fully potential or not.
any advises?
thank you.

If it has MC phono input that should do it.

@mapman it has mc phono input. I just double confirm only so you means Yamaha as-3000 integrated amp’s mc phono stage can surely handle very well with very low output mc cartridge?
thanks

May not be a problem, but the Yamaha's MC section is set @ a "fixed" 50 ohms (100 ohms is the recommended load for the Denon).

The input sensitivity on the Yamaha is a low .1mv and the output of the Denon is .25 mv. It will work fine!!
