For adjustability the Zesto Andros Allasso is among the most versatile, but you pay over $2,500 for that adjustability of gain and loadings. I have this SUT in my main system and it’s a nice unit.
For my second system I bought a used Rothwell MCX for $270 to pair with a Hana SL (0.5mv) and it's truly a great pairing it is. The Rothwell uses a Lundahl transformer and provides 20dB gain which is perfect for me. There are so many carts on the market (including Kleos) that are about 0.5mv and like ~400ohm loading that I sometimes wonder if I purchased too much flexibility with the Zesto.
Of the Bob’s Device I think the SKY20 is the one I’d get with it’s 1:10 and 1:20 configuration which would fit most of my foreseeable needs.
