Would this be a redundant point these days on current phono-pre's?

This is not redundant, depending on your needs. For example I use a Shitt Mani 2 preamp with a Soundsmith phono cartrige. The soundsmith likes a load between 500 and 1K ohms, which is not available on the preamp. I set the preamp to 47K ohms and user the DBsystems kit to provide the correct load. DBsytems sold me custom resistors for only $9 a pair. They also offer a kit with capacitors. Most phono preamps only provide limited options so these kits offer an opertunity to experiment with loading.
