Herron VTPH2 questions?

I have an Herron VTPH2 and I am thinking of getting a Grado VPI The Reference MM cartridge which has only 1.2 mv output. I wonder if I can use the mm input with it?

What is the phono gain of the Herron? Does it have a linestage built-in? If so, what is the additional gain afforded by the linestage? If you want your question answered, you need to supply the minimal data needed in order to do it. On the other hand, Herron is alive and well; why not call them and ask about the Grado?

Yes, talk to Keith. The VTPH-2 is adjustable depending upon the tube compliment installed. This allows you to dial in the gain to match your other sources and/or optimize performance with a given cartridge and overall system. For example, you will need to consider the gain of any linestage preamp and/or speaker sensitivity when deciding whether to go with the high or low gain tube set or mm or mc input. I am totally confident that if you pose your question to Keith and provide him with the specs of your other components he will be able to guide you.
