“this SUT”
@scar972
What is the brand name / model of your SUT ?
Recommendations for MM Phono ~ Tube or Solid State
As title suggests, I am currently using a MC Cart - Etsuro Bordeaux and planning on adding an SUT. The TT is Garrard 301 with Reed 3P tonearm.
SUT under consideration,
1) Etsuro ET-U50
2) Swissonor PPP-PP Hashimoto HM7
3) EMIA Copper or Silver version
On top of my list is Leben RS-30EQ and Accuphase C-47.
Also planning on adding 2nd Reed tonearm with Miyajima Labs Zero or Infinity Cart. From a purist perspective, what would be your recommendation to get the best out of a mono cart.
Thank you!

Scar, now that you’ve provided more detail in your past history, I would say you have about as much data as many of us have to support our convictions. At some point one wants to stop experimenting and move on to other audio dilemmas. But after I found that some of my most closely guarded biases did not hold up to new experiences, my motto has become never say never. |
@lalitk the SUT I experimented with is a modestly priced vintage Japanese unit, Fidelity Research FRT-4, it's been mentioned here quite a few times. Not saying it's the best or anything but I'm impressed with how it plays with my cartridges and I'd like to hear a few more SUT's in the future.
@lewm this is a newly formed bias so it's not etched in stone, I'm always open to learning and being impressed by other ideas.
@rauliruegas impressed that you knew my King/Cello phono is a Colangelo-Levinson design, kudos! I'm actually experimenting with the MM stage of a Manley Chinook at the moment and not the King/Cello. Amongst the high-gain phono stages I've had here are Tom Evans the Groove, Pass Labs XP-15, Linn Linto, King/Cello, Manley Chinook and a few lower priced ones.

@lalitk try several tube base phono and end up with old Air Tight ATE-2 phono MM with their SUT ATH-1. Been several years now and happy with it. Pair nice with koetsu and Lyra. Check their new Air Tight phono ATE-3011
