In that case you would set it to MM. Reading the following in the link you sent. </p> <p><br />Lower gains (40 and 44 dB) are intended for moving magnet cartridges or<br />very high output moving coil cartridges (2.0 milliVolts or higher). These<br />would include the Benz MC20E2, Silver, Glider High Output and H2O.</p> <p>I&#39;d set it to 40 or 44dB. Just see which is the best out if the two.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Craig<img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/01.gif" alt="Smile" /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/288997.aspxSat, 07 Aug 2010 12:58:09 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:288997linder0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/288997.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=29&PostID=288997<p>I have acquired an almost mint Beogram 9500 which doesn&#39;t have an internal phono amp. &nbsp;I have a Soundsmith SMMC1 cartridge and am trying to setup a Musical Surroundings phono preamp. &nbsp;However I don&#39;t exactly understand the switch settings. &nbsp;Is there someone out there who knows about these things who can look at the instructions and tell me what the settings should be? &nbsp;It would be most appreciated. &nbsp;Thanks, Bill</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>http://www.musicalsurroundings.com/msurr/manuals/phonomenamanual.pdf</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
