I'm having to cobble together an interim phono premap solution,
and I'd be
grateful for some advice.

I've got a MF LPS phono amplifier rated at 100 ohms input
impedence for
the MC bit, and an AT OC9 cartridge rated at 20 ohms load
impedence.

Does this matter?

**Nope.


If so, how do I correct it?

**Don't bother.

The 'old' electronics rule was always low Z source, high Z load, so,
as it says above, provided you have enough gain it will not be a
problem.

**Not quite. Most MC carts are designed, specifically, to be terminated with
a low(ish) load impedance. Unless so terminated, frequency response,
dynamics and distortion will all suffer.
