Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble?
rauliruegas ... AR, VAC and MAC use SUTs ( passive not active designs. ) ... You're mistaken. There's no SUT in my ARC Ref Phono 2SE. It uses an FET on the MC input. I'm pretty sure this is common on ARC phono preamps.  
Need Opinions for Different Cable Manufacturers/Cable Designs

Help - is Krell dead?
musicmatters1206 ... 50 vs 60hz won’t make a real difference to listening experience in a CDP ... It will make a huge difference if the CDP has a synchronous motor.  
Start with Upgrade to DAC?
