could you use some attenuated interconnects with it ?

Hi, thanks for the suggestion. The amp input sens is 300mV and the CD output is 2.2mV so for that I need 11dB attenuation. I am using a PHO-701 phono stage but there is no ref to output voltage on the specs, just output impedance. Is there a formula for working out the output voltage? As an aside, do the voltage attenuators not have any negative effects?
Thanks for your input. Tony

I think the specs of the 701 show the gain though for mm and mc so depending on your cartridge you can work it out.

Ah okay....I'll have a look and see if I can work it out. Thanks.

The 701 has very typical gain figures of 40dB MM and 60dB MC.

So with a typical MM output of 5mV you will get 5mV x 100 = 500mV.
With a typical MC of, lets say, 0.4mV you will get 0.4 x 1000 = 400mV.

Thanks for that. I have an Audio Note IQ2 which I think has an output of 6.5mV which gives me an overall output of 650mV. As my CD output at 2.2V coupled with the amp sensitivity of 300mV requires attentuation of -11dB, what are the implications of the 650mV going into the same amp. Please excuse my ignorance if I'm missing something really basic/obvious!

Hi Steve, is your Vincent still for sale?
