Have not used a step up but this cartridge needs at least 300 ohms to show its' pedigree.
It will sound lifeless at 100 ohms.

Dynavector XV1T MUCH higher coil impedence
Have owners of the XV1T noticed that this is Dynevector's first low-output cartridge to have a very high output impedance? This means that if it is loaded down to 30 to 100 ohms (the way all previous Dynavectors sounded best) the XV1T is going to be over-damped: i.e. rolled-off and lacking in dynamics.
So has anyone experimented with step-up transformers with the correct step-up ratios, like between 10:1 and 15:1? Or what about people that have variable loading. What kinds of loads sound best, not to bright but not too dampled?
