Just a quick note:
I set up a new 440 EP CI last week and configured my Ortofon Cadenza Black by selecting the cartridge by name in the latest configurator drop down menu. I use the cartridge straight into the phono input....no transformer. I get no hiss at normal listening levels and the sound is excellent with appropriate vinyl. To my ears, using the default D settings, the amp/cartridge are a perfect match for one another without the need for any step-up device.
