Decware makes a couple different ones, with a trade-in program so you can exchange as needed for different cartridges.

I searched for SUT with variations for future changes, finally chose this vintage Fidelity Research FRT-4 https://darklanternforowen.wordpress.com/2021/01/01/fidelity-research-frt-4-mc-cartridge-transformer...

That cartridge has an elliptical stylus. I enjoyed elliptical for a long time, however: I suggest you consider a cartridge with an advanced stylus: MicroLine, Shibata, SAS. Perhaps a MM cartridge now, hear the advantages of that stylus upgrade, or a MC with advanced stylus, similar output to your Benz so a chosen SUT will handle either. ................................... |

Klyne and Uesugi Bros....nice :) Cart loading is very preamp dependant so if you have never used the Uesugi phono section it will involve several unknowns. (Best load, and if higher ratio sut into lower sensitivity input or lower into higher sensitivity input sounds best- and yes that affects load) You could probably buy and try and sell a few sut based on vintage mic trafos ( ebay etc) without much $$ lost at the end and learn from the experience. End of the day i use Silvercore often... |
