In that price class, the advantage of a passive SUT should be questioned, versus a Hagerman Piccolo (JFET based MC step-up). Certainly lower noise with the passive, but perhaps compromised sound quality due to the budget transformers. I’d just avoid the CineMag Red 3440A. Maybe Jensen has something decent at that price. Lundahl LL9206 and LL9226 are ok, but the Piccolo is probably better. If you can acquire CineMag Blue 1254 at your price (any CineMag Blue really), those are great.
Looking for a budget Step-up Transformer
Occasionally I want to connect my turntable (equipped with an Ortofon Quintet Blue MC cartridge) to several of my integrated amps that have only MM input. The possibility of not having another power supply in the chain is very appealin.
Looking over the used market so far took me nowhere, so I wonder if there is any recommendations on a SUT for less than GBP200.
Thanks in advance.
