Need a sut for Hana ml

I hava a Cary ph301 phono stage Mc has 60dB at 100 Ohms  it’s to much gain for cartridge,  I tried 1:10  into mm input  , gain much better but it produced 470 Ohms sounds more like my Hana sl,  the Hana  ML needs >100 Ohms ,what ratio sut should I use ,any advise would be appreciated ,thank you ,and happy holidays.

You will need to add a parallel resistor to lower (numerically) the load for your 1:10 SUT. http://www.hagtech.com/loading.html

+1 solypsa, or 1:5 SUT.

I know which is less expensive. The 10.00 RCA and resistor..

Still, it needs to be loaded correctly..

Make a BIG difference in those sonic nuggets your lookin' for..AY?

Can you inform me on the gain and ohms with the 1:5 sut I would appreciate it very much. Thank you for your time.

Using a step up transformer with a turns ratio of 1:5 should give you a gain of roughly 13.98dB.  

The reflected impedance will be dependent upon the input impedance of the phono stage you are using.

Many phono stages will commonly use an input impedance of 47K Ohms.  If this is true in your case, your cartridge should see a resulting impedance of roughly 1880 Ohms.

Here is a link to a calculator that can help you with the variables... http://www.mh-audio.nl/Calculators/StepUpTransformer.html
