KOETSU VERMILION and audio research PH7


HelloI would like to get a Koetsu Vermilion but I don't know if my phono stage audio research PH7 will do the work due to the 0.2mV. I've got a zyx OMEGA and Ortofon cadenza Black, and for me the 58db of my PH7 is enough,,, so with vermilion ???
Your opinions ?

I doubt it! Get a good mc transformer (SUT) to maximize the signal-to-noise range of the Koetsu - and your other mc"s.
I have a Bellari and a Quicksilver, plus two custom-built SUTs I prefer them over active stages!
The Urushi Vermillion spec is .4 mv so would work.  If .2 mv it would not.  I owned the PH-7 for years so the answer is easy - upgrade the phono pre instead.  I went Herron and it spanked the poor old PH-7 (NOS Telefunkens) without mercy.
