This is what I listen to (with some slight mods since I drew this schematic). It doesn't make a lot of gain but I use a MC step up transformer that makes up the difference.
My cartridge is .2mv output and I use a Jensen 1:36 transformer so I'm putting 7.2mv (or so) into the phono pre. The output is stronger than my CD player.
My preamp is on 3 chassis. One for the CCS feed shunt regulated B+. It uses two vr150 tubes in series.
The second chassis just for the LCLCRC DC filament supply and the preamp circuit is on the third chassis.
I use the 10m45s in cascode for the CCS's and for all tube stages I use the mu output to keep the drive impedance low.
The autoformer volume control is all I have for a line stage.
I have to say, I would bet your Pass Labs phono pre will be hard to beat but it would be an interesting comparison.
