Am I going to need a step up transformer?


Just sold me beloved Benz Ruby 3 that was rated .34 mv output and now thinking about a Dynavector XX2 MkII rated at .28 mv. My phono amp has a gain of 70 db. I would say I had my volume control on my pre amp at about 2:00 for loud listening with the Benz. I really want this to work without a SUT.

You should be fine. From the KAB gain calculator web page:
Chart of Typical Gain Values (relative to 5cm/sec):
Output Gain
3 - 6 mV 36dB
1 - 3 mV 43dB
0.3 - 1.0 mV 53dB
0.15 - 0.3 mV 60DB

Of course, YMMV. For more details, click here.
