Would changing to a MC solve my problem?

2.4mV with 46dB gain will give you 400mV

0.4mV with 66dB gain will give you twice that.

Ref. Vinyl Engine.

You could also get a higher output MM where 4.5mV beats both at 46dB gain.

Dear @traudio : 46db gain is more than enough to could have over 95db SPL if that’s what you need but I think that your gain " trouble " is not about the V10 gain but around two things: first is the very low sensitivity of your Magnepan that needs a lot og current to fly along perhaps a impedance curve that could goes at lower than the nominal manufacturer spec of 4ohms and maybe your integrated unit can’t really handled with aplomb you want it and the other issue could be that you have a room surrounded of attenuators as the floor carpet and the kind of listening couchs and the like. problem is not in the cartridge/V10 but this is only an opinion about and could be wrong.

Sorry not give you a different answer you are looking for.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,

The room is not the issue as the Digital input plays at an appropriate volume setting.

Thanks for the link. That's exactly what I was looking for.
