That wasn't a problem from the internal gain (59.5dB) of the LP2, that was a problem (not perfect matching) from the output LP2 into input Preamp (the signal into Pre got weak and needed another amplification, but lost is lost)....some compensate this his a stronger cartridge but it is a compensation. Seems it works great with 0.25mV (also my experience with it) and the Naim Preamp.With the right Preamp match even 0.20mV MC's are no problem. The LP2 is done very well. True in tone, soundstage and holographic body... much too cheap compared to other Phonostages when you look for the real thing reproduction :-)
