I think Koetsu recommends a step-up with 1:10 ratio which is what their own step-up uses. Have you tried the Auditorium 23 (DL103 version) which is 1:10?

I have tried both the H and H7. The H gets you 85-90% of the performance of the H7 and is a wonderful value. The H7 is the very best Koetsu SUT I've heard so far in my rig.
The only Auditorium SUT I have used is the Hommage. May be interested in picking one up when I am finished with my Garrard 301/Ortofon SPU combo.
If you have a Koetsu, I'd recommend contacting John at Choir Audio. With a 30 day home demo available the only thing you will be out if you don't like it is shipping. Wish there were more opportunities like that these days.
