Best pure MM stage for SUT?

I like my EMIA phono corrector. you can do copper wound transformers or silver. mine is silver with 2 power supplies. price range is from under $20k-$40k depending. each one is built to your needs/wants. I match it with an MC Trio with 3 SUT's in one chassis. can be three different SUT's. so quite flexible. bullet proof. uncompromised parts and circuit design.

performs at the top rank.

+1 I have the copper version. I have no complaints and would recommend if it is in the budget.

Very powerful amps, they can drive almost anything. It's been a long time since I last listen to them, sounding good as far as I remember. Do they have undetachable, fixed powercord?

Yes, the CJ Premier 8 sounds very good! A few years ago, I had two pairs, 8 and 8a, driving my Apogee speakers :)

… but these are SUTs though, right… I very much enjoy my SUT… just looking for a better MM stage to hook it up with…

yes. the EMIA MC Trio is multiple SUT's with potential of three different values. it allows for multiple SUT's to work with a single MM input. it has a transparent powered Mercury switch for switching between the SUT's.
It’s MM.
yes; the EMIA Phono Corrector is a 40db MM phono pre, designed to work with SUT's for MC's.

… search has ended for now, went with the Ypsilon VPS-100 - so setup now is Döhmann Helix mk2x via Cardas to Consolidated Audio SUT into Ypsilon VPS-100… loving the sound… still using my Miyajima Takumi L cartridge, which I really love, thinking a little upgrade might be in place though… any recommendations for cartridges that sound full, musical and rich - NOT analytical nor neutral… maybe just a little higher output than the Miyajima… I would actually go for a bigger Miyajima, but they all habe extremely low output… cheers

Congratulations! Looks like you may have an end game analog front end.
