phono stage / step up for Koetsu carts


Now that the hunt is over, Koetsu be it. Can anyone here share info on which phono stages you guys are using with the Koetsu cart ?
How about step up transformers ?
I read that these Koetsu are sensitive to loading and optimal is 100 ohms.
thanks again for the info.
all the best....

I tried some ways, even with the Koetsu SUT. I would say, SUT is in final a top solution when it is done right but it is VERY difficult to get a top result. Simply most SUTs are mediocre and overpriced. It was frustrating to see what "Standard" is used in "High End" units.
When you want a good and fast result, how about an adjustable Transistor Phono Stage? Klyne 7 is very good, or a Pass Xono. They are not very expensive when you get them 2.hand and you enjoy your rig.
