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....

Thanks!
I don't think so, the CJ/Pass set up was very revealing and there were no compliance issue that I was aware of then and none now with the Joule.

Well, if your going to get a Koetsu cartridge, and you want to use it with a SUT, why not get the Koetsu SUT which they make specifically for their cartridges? Go to Melvin Ang's website.

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 !

I use the Nagra VPS. The loading is at 1000 ohms for my Koetsu and 500 for my Lyra mono. PLay with loading it will sound different with different wires and equipment. there is no one setting for all.
