Is a Step-up Transformer needed?


Hi, I am using a Denon DL-103 with an Output Voltage of 0.3mV and a recommended load resistance of 100 Ohms or more except when transformer is provided (direct quote from instruction manual) and a Pro-Ject Tube Box SE which can be set to either 100 Ohm, 220 Ohm or 1kOhm. I am confused about the output voltage issue. Can I use any of these settings without the step-up transformer? Thanks.

you have 60 db's of gain with the box.

Use that and you can pay the load by ear, besides the recommended setting.

You may just have to use more of the volume knob for desired 
loudness.
