Read it somewhere that one could increase phono stage impedance from 47K to 100K or higher to give higher primary load that cartridge sees and increase efficiency (gain). Do I understand correctly?
I don't think so. You have to load the transformer correctly in order for it to express its turns ratio correctly. If the load value is too high, the inter-winding capacitance starts to play a role and the frequency response won't be as flat.
I would check with the manufacturer and see if they have a recommended network for loading with your cartridge. Don't forget that the capacitance of the phono cables also plays a role- for this reason the output cable should be as low capacitance as possible!
