I'll upload the schematic and you can be the judge for yourself.
But I do know that the Magnetic input voltage looked like 21 mV at first until I saw that the magnetic cartridges were never rated any higher than .5 V so then I blew up the schematic to about 175% and then sure enough the number had a decimal between it (it was 2.1 mV not 21 mV) so it could very well be that the ceramic output voltage number I was seeing was 5.1 mV not 51 mV (or a typo in the schematic).
