| Need a sut for Hana ml lewm OP's original question is, which SUT?I'm trying to recommend an x factor, so that OP can choose a SUT with an x factor for that cartridge's combo of signal strength .4mv and coil impedance of 7 ohms.I came up with x faxtor 14 which yeilds ... | |
| Need a sut for Hana ml My simple answer: x factor 14, see below. I’m still new to the world of MC and SUT, others will correct me if wrong. I learned a great deal here after I started this thread about SUT for .3mv; 10 ohm resistancehttps://forum.audiogon.com/discussion... | |
