I'm new to Step Up Transformers


     I've recently become aware of the existence of SUTs (step up transformers). My initial thought was " why do I need an SUT when my phono preamp (Zestos Andros PS-1) has a circuit for Low Output MC cartridges?
     But many people seem to think that an SUT plugged into the MM channel of the phono stage will be a massive upgrade. I'd love to hear the opinions of anyone who has experience with SUTs. Thanks!

Do I get a prize when I hit 1,000 comments? 

Maybe a free guided tour of every linear inch of my audio circuitry, perhaps? 

I have a Pro-ject Tube Box DS2, an external phono stage that I run through my tuner line stage on my preamp.

Yeah it’s weird but it works fabulously.
