You are claiming that for the Hana ML 8mv into all MM inputs is perfect.
In my experience this is far from the truth, too much gain can result in running the volume pot at the bottom of its range where channel imbalance is at its worst.
This highlights the problem with using SUTs like you sell, where load and gain are determined by the turns ratio, and much of the time suboptimal loads and or gain structures result, which is what the OP is trying to avoid.
I have used both the Hana SL and Hana ML as demo cartridges at audio shows, and have experimented with many different step up ratios. The Hana SL is perfect at 1:10. The Hana ML is perfect at 1:20. I highly recommend 1:20 with the ML into MM inputs.Could you explain why you think the Hana SL (0.5mv output) is perfect @1:10 which generates 5mv into the moving magnet input, but on the other hand you claim that the Hana ML (0.4mv output) is perfect @1: 20 which generates 8mv into a standard MM input.

I highly recommend 1:20 with the ML into MM inputs.How can you possibly make a blanket statement like this without knowing the electrical parameters of the MM input.
