CineMag SUT

Hi all,

I would like to get a step up transformer for my Phase Tech MC cart P3G. I never experience it before but many Garrad & clasic stuff user would use CineMag CMQEE-3440A. The price is reasonable. If you are one of the user too, please share more. The most I want to know how it sounds (taste). The final question, I don't have any classic stuff but new turntable & tonearm.

Not sure it would be a good match for my system?

Has anyone compared Bob's Cinemag SUT vs his Altec 4722 SUT in a koetsu cartridge ?
Which one would suit better ?

Sib-thanks for the reply.
I have briefly tried the hash and find it a bit too detailed for my taste. Lean sounding but it was a 501 shelter cart.
I'm actually auditioning a friend home made altec 4722 similar to bobs. I like the results but its a bit pricey to buy a new one from bob. Where as the cinemag is a lot cheaper.
Half the price of the altecs from bobs.

Thanks guys.
I briefly tried the hashimoto but found it a bit too detailed & lean for my taste. But the soundstage, the refinement is really there. The gain was also a bit on the high side for me.
the Cinemag is the one am curious as to how these compares to the Altec. On the other forum a gentleman shared that both altec and cinemag are similar (father and son thingy).
