Not experienced with these, what's the total cost of them?
As the Ania is a low output MC it might simply be better to buy a phono preamp that can handle it without need for a step -up as well.
And £2.2k for the Signature One is perhaps excessive.
Nothing against Rothwell understand but there are plenty of good alternatives

Rothwell Iridium valve costs 1375 pounds + rothwell MCL 475£. Ania MC will be replaced with apheta 3. I've heard step Up Transformers with decent mm phono stage And it's mind blowing. So i'm considering Signature one (lundahl Transformers in gain stage) or Iridium+ step Up. Also Rega Aria Is still in play.

It's in my signature.
Anything that requires a phono preamp and a step up transformer is complicated in my mind.
keep it simple is a good idea.
