If you are looking for a highly colored transformer, they really are not made that way

Only the poorest of transformers are heavily rolled off on the top and bottom. The interaction of a transformer with your cartridge should be that the output impedance of the 103R should be 10% roughly of the input impedance of the transformer. The input impedance of the transformer can be altered by adding resistors in parallel to the transformer output or input. Adjusting the added resistance can alter the sound of the cartridge towards brightness or dullness. The warmth descriptor etc. is really just describing various freq imbalances that are induced by altering the resistance in parallel with the transformer.
