External step-up transformer with Io or MP-1


I'm curious to know if anyone is using an external step-up transformer into their Aesthetix Io or Atma-Sphere MP-1.
Or, if they experiment with this.

I have tried an external stepup into the Io at its highest and second-highest attenuation. The results were not good - no synergy whatsoever. The Io is meant to be used as a fully active phonostage. If you want to use stepups, I'd look elsewhere.
