I have a preamp that has a nice phono stage, but is only for MM cartridges. I'd like to build a mc step-up unit that I can fit inside the preamp, there is space but it would be tight. Transformer or active is fine.
Almost all the designs I can find do the eq as well. I know haglabs used to sell the Piccolo, but no longer do. Kankd has a lundahl xformer kit, but looking for options to compare.

Not a pcb, but easy enough to do on perfboard.

I think I meant 20dB, (20dB or 10x)
