Manley chinook & low output mc’s

ekimg, sorry, my question is, can the Manley handle a low output mc cartridge having a output of.5 mV without getting to noisy. So I guess you answered that. Thanks 

Pipetowers.... 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. 

ekimg, thank you, I think that answers my question as far as the chinook driving a lomc. How much gain does your line stage have? Thanks 

I don’t know?  The Chinook is connected to a Line Magnetic 518 integrated amp; 22 wpc, 845 SET amp.  How do I determine it’s gain?  Don’t see that in any specs?

I don’t couldn’t find any specs for gain on a 518ia any either. Thanks
