Step-up recommendations for 16 ohm internal impedance cartridge

I've just borrowed a Miyajima Waza, after being so impressed with Premium BE mono.

It's fairly unusual having 16 ohm internal impedance and as suspected it's not very happy with the S6 as my guess is it needs something smack in the middle of the 30-400 ohm gap that the S6 has.

Amazingly, it sounds pretty nice with some Ortofon T5 bullets - marked as suitable for 1-40 ohm (which is impossble) but perhaps something in the middle of that. Who'd have thought that?

Anyway - heretical thoughts here - but if I fancied a change from the Io it seems I'd also need to change the SUT. :shock: Something I never thought I would do. But it's nice to shake things up now and again.

What's the deal on Hashimotos? Dave Slagle custom jobs ? Yammamotos? I'd need something suitable for both the 6 ohm internal impedance of the Premium BE, and the 16 ohm of the Waza. Choir Audio? Any thoughts?

Maybe I should have posted in the technical section, not enough mathematicians in 2-channel!

I reckon a 1:20 would do it for the 16 Ohm cartridge. Hashimoto do them that can be set for 1:20 or 1:40 iirc.
