Best SUT For Van Den Hul Crimson Stradivarius cartridge

Kanchi, I don’t know why this is some sort of revelation. Even you in your opening post suggested that the MC26 might be a bad match for your new cartridge. I’m glad Dave and fsonic joined in to nudge you into proving it for yourself. The pathway for a permanent cure, if you want to continue to use the high output vdh, is now laid out before you.

@lewm i always knew that VDH is a poor combination with MC26L. Which is why I asked which was the best SUT.
then I went on and learned about impedance matching, what exactly it means, etc
i had email exchanges with Dave who even sent me different data how SUTs work..
I even experimented with changing the input loading and output loading..
I am learning and having fun!!

@fsonicsmith even though your post sounded dismissive, your intentions behind the post was for me the get the best sound out of my system..
when I met you, my skill and audio knowledge was let’s say 1, now I have come a long way.
of-course I spoke to many you referred me and learned form many on the way..
I learned about room acoustics, made my own diffusers and absorbers.. I will compare mine to still points in the future..
I learned a heck of a lot about cable design, material, dielectrics and terminations.. experimented and made my own DIY ICs, speaker cables and power cables..
I also ran 3 dedicated 20amp lines..
that’s my personality, learn and improve!!
