Hi all:I'm looking for a stepup rig than can be used alone to ramp up a .2mV phono signal from the cart. and deliver it equalized to the linestage. Is this possible with no powered output stage (ie., no transistors, no tubes, no nada)? I've heard of this, but where's the RIAA equalization take place if one uses stepup transformers alone? Need balanced inputs and balanced outputs.
If that's not possible, what would you recommend for use as outboard stepup transformers for my BAT VK-P10SE & a .2-.3mV cart.? Straight tube gain of my phonostage is not enough with a cart. w/that low an output IMHO. Again would need to have balanced inputs and outputs. Finally, would you place the stepups before or after the tube phonostage in that arrangement?
Thanks!
