Me too...

Especially with the exuberant gain I have in my Fi Y preamp (23dB) and the sensitivity of my Fi X amp. I don't really need more gain than about 20-30dB from a phonostage if using a step-up.

But since most people have MMs with about 50dB, it is good to know that the step-up is still usable with the 36:1 ratio.

The fear of too much gain was one of the reasons for shying away from the 36:1 step up ratio, but I do get the rationale now. And the output is not so much higher than with 1:10 or 1:20 due to the correct loading.

Thanks for all the great suggestions here! Very much appreciated!
