Cart sensitivity Vs step-up before phono stage


Kind friends, in other words................Which is the mV border value to add-on a step-up to a MC cart before the phono stage ?

My cart now has 0,21 mV and the phono stage 60 dB gain SS.

My experience leads me to agree with TWL. I run two cart's, one is 0.25, the other is 0.5. To get the Dynavector 17D (0.25) to a comfortable listening level, I use a step-up transformer, the other requires no help.
