Manley chinook & low output mc’s

Does anyone have experience with a Manley Chinook driving a low output mc cartridge. I’m Thinking of buying a Hana SL with a output of .5 mV. Thanks

So I guess you answered that. Thanks

I have two arms - one with the Delos rated at .6mV and an Ortofon 2M Bronze MM rated 5mV. I switch back and forth. I notice no difference in “noise” from the Chinook with the low output of the Delos.
