1.5 MV is this a Moving Magnet Phono Stage

[dantheman91]

Good Morning

I am asking because my current Nytech states a 1.5 MV board inbuilt is this acceptable for Moving Magnet or is it an MC stage ?

Thank you

Moving magnet, MC output around 0.XX, there are high output MC's however.

I agree it’s most likely MM but does it specify the loading? If it’s 47kOhm then it’s definitely MM

Cool - Do you know where it would specify loading input on the Nytech Unit..?

There's probably only one way to be sure, call them, I believe they still exist.

It would be unusual at the manufacturing time, to be anything other than 47k I think.

will almost certainly be a mm

Cheers Guys..

Sensitivity of 1.5 mV is indicative of about 44 dB of gain so it will be a MM input with almost certainly a 47K load.

Personally I would not want to pair it with MM's having 5 mV or higher output as it is likely to sound a bit hot with those.

But probably quite alright with 3-4 mV output MM's and would also likely work well with high output MC's that have real world output in the 2.2 to 2.5 mV range and are designed to be used into a 47K input.

Used to have a Nytech integrated myself in the dark ages.

This sounds about right to me.

Hi Blake

Im going to the the Shure V15 and SME

Thanks

Depends upon which V15 you mean; there have been many through the ages, most with derivatives. The original was 6mV (too much for your Nytech, I feel). The 4 had a 4 mV output and the 5, a 3.2 mV output. Most of the others were 3.5 mV, which should be okay, with plenty of gain but not a silly amount.
