Transformer-coupled tube phono pres

There are plenty of full-function pres with output transformers but how about stand-alone tube phonos?

The reason for the question has to do with a achieving a very low output impedance. With tubed unit, about the only way to do this is with transformers. (Or paralleling tubes ala CJ I guess.)
