I recently got a Zesto SUT for a Rega Aphelion 2 cart going into EAT Eglow petite hybrid-tube PS. I can either go directly to PS with high gain and get a bit of tube hiss. Or I can add the SUT and get a bit of transformer hum. Both at very low levels and only audible when I crank up pre-amp and put my ear next to speaker. The Zesto ads more body to the music compared to going straight to PS. You can adjust the tonality a bit with the impedence settings both on SUT and PS.
Phono preamp or SUT for low output moving coil
I have three low output moving coil cartridges
- Cello Chorale
- Van den Hul Grasshopper II
- Zu/ DL-103 Mk II
My phone preamps have phono input (Nagra PL-P and Conrad Johnson PV-7) but do not provide sufficient gain. Looking for suggestions. Open to any and all suggestions including stand-alone Phono pre into preamp line, SUT or electronic equivalent of SUT etc.
