FWIW, my favorite cartridge is a SoundSmith Hyperion, my SUTs are 10:1, but I also fearlessly interchange a variety of LOMC from Ortofon, AT (the recently introduced AT20 is quite nice), and others. My philosophy is to try things and listen. BTW, listen means for a while, not just for a minute or two, maybe at least an hour or more after making a change. I like to give my ears and mind a chance to adjust to the sound of what I am trying.
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!
