If your preamp works with only 3.5mV in, it will work fine with 5.5mV, and vice-versa. For that matter, it will work with any and all "normal" MM cartridges. The diff between 3.5mV and 5.5mV is less than 2 db.

Lew, make that "less than 4 db." As I'm sure you realize, it would be calculated as 20 x log(5.5/3.5) or 20 x log(3.5/5.5). Which of course is still consistent with the rest of the statements in your post. Best regards, -- Al
