I'm new to Step Up Transformers

My Hyperion is a moving iron cartridge and it decidedly works best with a low gain phono stage, and my preference is to use an SUT in to the MM input of every phono stage I have tried it with. 

@billstevenson 

Which SUT are you using with the Hyperion ?

Have you compared many ??

Thanks.

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.

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?

My current favorite is the Consolidated Silver Wire SUT.  I also have a Bob's Devices.  Both are external and are 10:1.  I also had an internal one in my previous Conrad-Johnson phono stage.  That covers the last 10 years or so.  I've been at this a long time and have had others, Ortofon, for example, Denon too, years ago, but with different cartridges and TT/arm setups that hardly are pertinent today.  I should also mention that for several years now I have settled on Audio Sensibility Statement silver interconnects.  Interconnects in and out are pertinent and consistency is important in evaluating differences.
