You'll be happy with it. No remote volume on an auto former whereas a resistor ladder or light speed does.For a passive to work well one needs ballsy high output voltage (2.5V+) sources with low output impedance (200 ohms or less is best) and a sensitive high input impedance amp. One that will give full output with a volt with 100K input impedance would be great.
So tell us your numbers. Phono will be harder to pull off than other sources. You need to start at cart output voltage, phono stage gain then output voltage and impedance. SS phono stages almost always have lower output impedance.
