Hi Dgad,
Thanks for the response. Yes, the Benz Ebony LP has a 38 ohm internal resistance and a .28mV output. I must say that I have never understood the relationship between cartridge and SUT impedances. I'll be using the Artemis Labs Ph-1 ( http://www.artemislabs.com/PH-1-vacuum-tube-phono-preamp.html ) with the step up transformer. The phonostage allows for adjustable loading on the back of the unit. Will this allow me to use any step up transformer?
As a side note, I noticed you are using the TW Acustic phonostage. Is that a pure tube phonostage or is it using some sort of solid state, mosfet, jfet etc head amp in front of the tubes?
Thank you for your comments,
Don
