phono stage / step up for Koetsu carts

Now that the hunt is over, Koetsu be it. Can anyone here share info on which phono stages you guys are using with the Koetsu cart ?
How about step up transformers ?
I read that these Koetsu are sensitive to loading and optimal is 100 ohms.
thanks again for the info.
all the best....

a Koetsu step up is definitely a possibility in the future though that is a pricey phono step up.
Anyone here have luck using EAR834p or Tron Seven with the Koetsus ?
Thanks !

Smokester,

thanks for insight. I was looking at Tome Evans as well but not the microgroove, but the Groove x.
This looks like a long and interesting journey to the Koetsu world. Hope in the end its worth it.
