Your Mac phono tops out at 5mV so you will get distortion on ceartain loud passages.
I have a similar problem with Mac phono and a Blackbird cart (0.7mV).

Well I won’t be able to test that. My VAS cartridge got trashed but the new models I’m looking into have a output around .5mv so maybe one of those will be better.
