I know diddly about SUTs, but I did know of the high reputation of Bobs devices which use a variety of Cinemag transformers, The mavens talk about the transformer used in specific models.
Phono recommendations for Koetsu
I'm purchasing a Koetsu Rosewood (standard). This will mean either a new phono to support a MC or some type of step-up or head amp to go with my EAR 834P. My dealer recommends a step-up, Audio Note S2 to be specific, rather than a new upgraded phono stage, which surprised me. I'm wondering what others might think who have a Koetsu and/or have gone a similar route.
