Best SUT For Van Den Hul Crimson Stradivarius cartridge
@bukanona mine is Crimson Stradivarius which has an output of 0.95 mV. At the bottom of the page, it says Stradivarius specs coming...

All the comments greatly appreciated.Can you please suggest a good line stage/Pre-amp.Thanks!!

@bukanona I could not find any EMT STX 5/10 for sale. Is the EMT STX20 silver coil? It has 10db gain and will be enough gain for the VDH Crimson cartridge.

@lewm Yes, I realized that one cannot increase the impedance by connecting resistors in parallel.I have a Ypsilon MC26L SUT for Ikeda Kai cartridge which has 1:26 turns ratio. 57K||26x26= 84ohms. I belive the internal impedance of VDH could be 20-...

@lewm thanks for all the explanation.I have read about 10-20 articles detailing all about impedance (47K)/square of turns ratio and how to modify the load using parallel resistors at the out put and in put.If I use 1:10 turns ratio, the cart sees ...

Any suggestions for silver SUTs. Are silver that much better than copper?

@elliottbnewcombjr what is the difference between Impedance selector and load selector?https://www.ebay.com/itm/KONDO-AUDIO-NOTE-AN-S7P-MC-STEP-UP-TRANSFORMER-JAPAN/123923446228?hash=item...Thanks

@lewm the VPS 100 -> CARY SLP 05 -> CARY CAD 211 FE -> KEF Blade speakers.I did connect the cartridge directly into VPS 100, but had to increae the volume to 100% to get enough sound level.Which is why I am looking for a SUT. 
Isolated ground for 20 amp
Which kind of Siemens 20 amp breakers do you recommend for dedicated lines. GFCI or regular? standard trip or arc fault?I have 2 x 200 amp panels. Each panel has two columns of breakers and from what I gather, alternate rows are same phase.    
Hum with Ypsilon MC26L SUT that goes away with touching
@bukanona the tonearm cable is a silver IC with WBT Nextgen Silver RCA from Reed 3p.the stage 3 connect cable is connecting SUT to Phonostage VPS100. 
Hum with Ypsilon MC26L SUT that goes away with touching
@dover how do I connect one end to true ground?  
Hum with Ypsilon MC26L SUT that goes away with touching
@dover the whole concept of stage 3 cables is air-dielectric which is supposed to have the least capacitance (air has the least dielectric).. 
Hum with Ypsilon MC26L SUT that goes away with touching
The stage 3 has an extra cable hanging out with spades on either end to connect to the ground post.my DIY has two wires- center one is conductor and the return is helix.. 
Hum with Ypsilon MC26L SUT that goes away with touching
@lewm my home made IC doesn’t have a sheild or ground conductor. Neither does the IC made by Ypsilon. The Stage 3 concepts IC has a ground conductor and I tried multiple configurations which had hum- including connecting only one side, both sides,... 
Hum with Ypsilon MC26L SUT that goes away with touching
Update:the hum disappeared after I replaced the Stage 3 concepts analord  interconnect from SUT to Ypsilon VPS100 with Ypsilon interconnect.i also made my own IC using helix design from http://www.image99.net/blog/files/category-002a002a-the-helix...
