All SUT's need a ground wire to the phono stage. For the Entre' keep the IC to phono stage short. SUT's are sensitive to capacitive loading by the output IC's.
Fidelity Research FRT-4 or Entre' T-100
Hi all,
Anyone have experience with both of these SUTs? I want one or the other, and need to decide whether the FRT-4 is worth the $250 more or so that it costs.
Feature-wise, the only arguably salient differences are:
The FRT-4 has a captured output cable with a ground wire, while the T-100 has RCA out. (Would one run a ground wire from it to the phono pre, or is grounding the tonearm at the SUT sufficient?)
The FRT-4 has 5 settings: pass, 3, 10, 30, and 100 ohms. The T-100 has 4: pass, 3, 10 (or 20, depending on the version) and 40.
Given the inexactness of impedance matching, each seems flexible enough for any cartridges I might use.
So the issue comes down to build quality and sound quality.
Thoughts?
(I'm posted this query on Vinyl Asylum as well).
Thanks,
Richard
