There are some really inexpensive phono transformers available. That is if $20-$30 bucks is cheap enough for you. I can't remember theirs names or where to buy them but if I were looking I would bottom fish Ebay to start.
Burn in Step up transformer with ipod.
Here is question for you guys. There are cd products out there that reduces the output of CD players to low levels so that they can burn in phonostages and step up transformers safely.
Most cs players output between 2-4 volts which can damage phono step ups. With an ipod, the headphone output is 30mv. If i pay a track via the ipod and connecting it to a step up transformer with rca and play at low volumes, wouldnt it be the same thing as what these products do?
