For the Soundsmith Hyperion, Paua or Sussurro:
More information: You can go into the MM input, set the gain at 60 or 65 and the loading at 47K, and use a dual "Y" RCA adapter at each phono input jack. By soldering a 1K (or whatever you choose) resistor across a male RCA plug and inserting it into the open female jack of the "Y" adapter, you can set the loading to whatever you wish!! NO COMPATABILITY ISSUES AT ALL.
From their website:
Manley Steelhead
It has two Moving Coil inputs with selectable impedance load 25, 50, 100, 200 and 400 Ohms via Mr. Clever "Steelhead" transformer/autoformer. It also has variable and selectable Moving Magnet input impedances too 25, 50, 100, 200 Ohms and 47 kOhms.
It's got selectable gain 50, 55, 60, 65dB on a switch that even auto-mutes as you change it so no nasty bangs. Gain switch markings are referred to from the input of the 1st active electronics at 1 kHz to the fixed output @ 10k load, regardless of whether source is MM or XFMR stepped-up MC.
