What's a good step-up transformer?


Everyone says how moving coils are so much better than moving magnets, but what they don't metion is that the signal is so much smaller you need a step up transformer to run it with most phonostages. I'm wondering what a good one might be. Audio Note seems to have the market cornered but they are not cheap.

While not strictly a step up transformer, the Dynavector PHA-100 head amp is very good. It also has a cartridge impedance matching switch. Wally of Wally tractor fame put me onto it.
It is transparent to the source and adds a degree of bass slam compared to just using my premier 15.
