Phono preamp or SUT for low output moving coil

Hagerman makes a couple of different head amps to do what you need at reasonable prices and they are quiet.

What lewm explains is extremely important for people to understand if they want to use an SUT.  I had to address this problem myself when I bought my SoundSmith Hyperion and then tried it with an SUT.  I have two actually and both have 10:1 ratios for this very reason.   One of them also has the option of 5:1.  Fortunately I have found 10:1 is adequate with my phono stage.

to be a bit more precise, the SUT is a Step Up Transformer so the ratio is 1:X not X:1. That said it is indeed as Lewn stated. Take the square of the turns ratio and divide the input impedance of the phono stage to calculate what the load is on the cartridge. So a 1:10 is 10 x 10 = 100 and the typical 47KΩ divided by 100 = 470Ω

However, the main reason you have an SUT is to get enough gain, it should not be viewed as a means to achieve a desired load resistance. Much better to have a phono stage with a very input impedance like the EMIA LR (300kΩ is standard), select an SUT that gives you the desired voltage gain, and then load the primary of the SUT to get the desired load resistance.

Despite what others may tell you... SUTs are a superb way to get wonderful sound if you know how to implement them

Another point is the unfounded obsession with a perfect RIAA response. The idea that the RIAA has to be perfect is ridiculous given all of the other variables in frequency response in any system including the room. Why obsess with .01dB of accuracy with the RIAA when other factors give deviations in response many  orders of magnitude greater? All else equal then yes it should be as good as you can make it, BUT nothing else is ever equal so relax and go with the music. Go with what sounds the best, not measures the best. Don't chase specifications to ridiculous precision.

Agree 100% with everything @herman said!

Herman, the word you omitted in describing the input impedance of the EMIA is “high”. The EMIA has a high input Z to facilitate using it with LOMC cartridges that work best into high-ish impedance, specifically cartridges that have high internal resistance, like some Denons and some Benz cartridges or low output MI cartridges that have high inductance, even though their internal resistance can be low. In such cases the EMIA can safely be mated to their SUTs while still properly loading LOMCs with high internal R. 

On the issue of the needed accuracy of RIAA, I tend to agree with you that there is such a thing as “close enough” to perfect; I would not choose one phono with .05 db accuracy over another with 0.1db accuracy, if I otherwise preferred the SQ of the latter one, but the argument that can be made for very high accuracy is why add another source of error (= distortion) to a reproductive process that is already fraught with other sources of distortion? I think there is such a thing as accurate enough.
