Didn't think of that but can't find any info on input loading of the stage. According to AN the cart needs 150-200pF, so it's unlikely to be a long way from that. In the tubeamps review it says input is '2mV sensitivity variable'. Have you got a manual and can you check this out?
Found the manual in the box but it’s exactly the same as the online PDF https://www.audion.co.uk/PDF files/Premier Pre-amps manuals/premier_pre-amp_manual_english.pdf
not a sausage about anything variable.
I have a passive preamp with a stepped attenuator sat around doing nothing but I assume it’s a silly idea to try putting that before the input to the photo stage.
VTA if anything is a tiny fraction down at the back but also that MOFI vinyl is on the heavy side.
Thanks
