Matching stepup to phono stage


If I use a moving coil stepup transformer (Quicksilver) before my phono stage (CJ Premier 15) do I keep the the CJ Premier 15 loading at 47K or do I change the CJ loading to the recommended loading of the catridge. The input impedance of the Stepup is 250 ohms.

Thanks,
Rich

Doug/All,

Any thoughts on best resistor type (and wattage) for loading the Bent? I've played around with various 1/8 and 1/4 watt carbon comp, metal-film, ceramic-chip types, etc, yet I tend to keep coming back to plain old 1/4 watt carbon film types - somehow, they sound smoother in the long run. Regards,
