Sure you don't mean 600 or 200 ohms for the input? 6K2 is high for a low
impedance mic, and not high enough for a high impedance type.

6K2, nominal is correct according to John La Grou's general specs.

Thanks.

Nothing to stop you but performance will suffer because:

1. Strange load seen by the cartridge

2. RIAA network before the amp is the worst place to out it from the point
of view of noise performance.

if these don't bother you then go ahead.

On those considerations think I'll leave it be.
