Hi Betoli,

It depends on your cartridge.....to be more precise to the output impedance given by the manufacturer.
Personally I have an ORTOFON MC 15 SUPER II which requires an impedance greater than 20 Ohms. Therefore I have chosen the adequate transformer (TR 455) to build it. This transformer is compliant with either 15 Ohms or 60 Ohms output impedances.

BTW if you are a little bit handy it is dead easy to build a MC transformer by assembling the 2 coils on a support, and far less expensive as buying the finished product. I have integrated it in the standard phonostage (see my mini review).
