I just fed the input with the phono pre turned off. You will probably want to use a high value of resistance as a load so as not to load down whatever device you are using to provide the signal too much. Remember, if the load resistor is on the secondary you will have to multiply the load resistance you want by the square of the transformer's turns ratio. e.g. for 47K at the input with a 10:1 transformer you would use a 4.7M resistor across the secondary.
Burn in Step up transformer with ipod.
Here is question for you guys. There are cd products out there that reduces the output of CD players to low levels so that they can burn in phonostages and step up transformers safely.
Most cs players output between 2-4 volts which can damage phono step ups. With an ipod, the headphone output is 30mv. If i pay a track via the ipod and connecting it to a step up transformer with rca and play at low volumes, wouldnt it be the same thing as what these products do?
