I use a Cinemag 1254 based SUT and I think the results are wonderful. Running it at 20:1 with an old Koetsu Black, lots of drive and loads of detail. I was having a hiss problem with my phono pre, lots of noise at 60dB max gain on my MS Phonomena. That's eliminated now in addition to fidelity gains, the Phonomena doing much better at 40dB min gain. My SUT has adjustable gain and can do 40:1, so maybe my next cartridge can be the AT-ART7 with just 0.12mV output.
