Same as Ozzy62, except my K&K phonostage and K&K TVC with S&B transformers are a two box set-up. My phonostage has 64db of gain for MC and I've used it with cartridges ranging from .3mV to .8mV. The input sensitivity of my amp is .8V and has an input impedance of 67k ohms. Speaker sensitivity is 88db. Works great for me.
More so an issue with resistor based passives that transformer basaed, but still worth while to look into.
