It has to be said that my current Rega Apheta 2 with 0.35mV sounds wonderful with no discernable noise, but I do also think 0.2 is a big ask.

My Ortofon Kontrapunct B has an output of 0.47mV and using the Devialet phonostage, it hisses even after exploring all configuration options. To my mind, 0.2mV would be a non-starter noise wise.
