| SUT suggestions for Audio Note System I agree with Bill. If it is the .6mV version, then 1:10 would be the best match. I saw that the M6 preamp is 18dB, but I don't have specs for the M6 phono, however, if it is a MM phono, I assume about 38 to 40dB. If someone has the actual specs... | |

| SUT help @atmasphere I was referring to your comment about using the least gain from the SUT the better. That has not been my experience. By the way, I am still using your line stage and love it. | |

| Hana ML Phono Stage / SUT I am personally using a Hana ML. It sounds best to me using a 1:20 step up transformer into a Standard MM phono stage. I have tried several step up combinations. | |
| SUT help I have personally tried lots of combinations with the Hana ML and Hana Umami Blue and Red. 1:20 is perfect if you set your phono to 40dB and 47k ohms. If you have a Hana SL, then 1:10 is the best match. | |
