I currently run the Bob’s Devices 1:20/1:40 with the Denon 103R and a Hana Mono SL; an Icon Audio 1:10 with the Hana ML; and the Miyajima ETR Mono with Zero’s and Infinity. The Miyajima does have a switch to select impedence in addition to primarily and secondary coil taps. Between the three I would call Bobs Devices the most transparent, the Icon Audio the most lush, and the Miyajima the most compete. If the Miyajima Stereo fits, that’s where I would go.
SUT Advice - Which Ones Are The Best?
I am currently in research mode. I want to add a SUT to my set-up but I am finding that there is not a lot of information from my local audio shop resources. It seems that SUTs are outliers in the high end audio world.
That said, I have read several articles in magazines and the web touting their merits.
Of all the brands out there I am most familiar with Bob's Devices. Art Dudley wrote many good things about his experiences with Bob's SUTs, and I happen to trust Art (God rest his soul), but I'm wondering if there are others I should consider as well. Please post your recommendations if you have experience with any SUTs, regardless of brand.
As for my set-up, I have a SME 20/2 turntable, Tri-Planer tone arm, Lyra Kleos cartridge, and KTE LCR Mk5 Phono preamp. I do not know if I will always use a Kleos cartridge but I do think I will always buy low output MC carts. I hope to buy something that will work with low output MCs but have some adjustability just in case.
I'd love to hear your recommendations.
Thanks!
Peter
