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.

The difference between .28 and .34 is less than 2dB so you should be fine.

The closer you are to full volume the better your system gain is set up. Excess attenuation (hair trigger volume controls) just means you are amplifying (adding distortion) just to attenuate (add losses).
