Audio Innovations Series 800 SUT - looking for info

I have just added an Audio Innovations Series 800 Step Up Transformer to my collection, and I very much like the sound, and how it works with my cartridge[s]. 

 

This model has a switch to load at either 3 ohms or 15 ohms.
 

I understand it was a product of Peter Qvortrup’s company before he started Audio Note, and that the transformers might be very similar.

 

Did A.I. make the transformers themselves, or purchase from a supplier? Can someone confirm the 800 has copper wire, while the 1000 has silver?

 

And if anyone knows this model and more recent Audio Note SUTs, your opinions on similarities and differences would be much appreciated.

I have experience of both these SUT's a friend has been a collector of AI Equipment and used these with a Valve Input /Output Phonostage. 

I have heard these used in the same system with different Motor Drive TT's and Valve Amp's and Horn Speakers. 

In my own system, I know I have heard one Model in use, I can't recall,. 

The Demo's I had left me with the view the SUT Influence was creating an overwhelming Bass Heavy Presentation., which is the Antithesis of my taste. 

My friend loves Rich Sound, and these were very capable to satisfy their needs
