Thastum, I used mine with Coralstone as well. I only have Dyna DV 6A, Lyra Arion, Ortofon T100 and SUP200 to compare only. I am not sure what other SUT would work well with Coralstone though.
I have it now for about 6 months. However, I can only compare it to Ortofon T100 which I also own. Basically, it has similar big,full smooth midrange like T100 but is more dynamic.
Bass is faster, tighter, not quite so fat or a bit sluggish like T100. It certainly works well with Dyna XV-1s and Koetsu cartridge that I have.
Thastum, I just saw that you use Aesthetix Io Eclipse. I think
that SUP200 may not be ideal. The Io with third stage removed, will give you 50 dB of gain. With 26dB from SUP200, that's 76 dB of gain for 0.3 mV
Thastu, unfortunately, I have not tried any of the SUTs that you mentioned. I tried running Koetsu directly into Aesthetix Io Eclipse as well as using Dynavector SUP200/Lamm LP2 and there is definitely no trace of brightness with SUP200/Lamm combination in comparison to AEsthetix. However, I did not try SUP200 with Aesthetix as mine does not have volume control so 76 dB of gain is a bit much for all of my cartridges so far. However, I have been having some interesting result using Air Tight PC-1 supreme/Dyna DV-6A SUT/Aesthetix without third stage but I am not sure if I like that better than Aesthetix without SUT yet.
