SUT Shootout

[matakana]

I chose the lower factor 1:8/1:16

And the ability to roll your own resistors, congratulations Leif.

good morning, has anyone of you experienced a good match between a S.U.T. and the dynavector XV-1s… many thanks and regards

Depending on the budget, the Quadratic Audio MC-1 should be on the list - the MC-1 is quiet, detailed, colourful, expressive and possibly the best that I've heard at anywhere near this price point. It actually works very well with the (higher coil impedance) DRT XV-1T even though the maths suggest otherwise.

Buongiorno, qualcuno di voi ha sperimentato un buon abbinamento tra un SUT e il dynavector XV-1s… grazie mille e saluti

Dynavector produce effettivamente un Sut che si adatta molto bene alla loro testa. L'ho sentito suonare benissimo con l'Ear M C4.

I have Dynavector XV-1S and using Ypsilon VPS 100 MK2 Phono stage with Ypsilon MC 16 SUT and it is a good match

Ti riferisci al sup-200..?

i have now listened to the silver wire Silvercore 1:10 (big can version) for about a month. it is really excellent i think. it is very open, i get great detail and tone on vocals. everything is there all at once and yet you can follow bits of it. it is neither warm nor dry although i speculate that if one's system was solid state it could be less "amber" than some might want. i managed to score a lyra delos 2nd hand at the same time for cheap. between the delos, the silvercore, smartractor and analog magik, i don't think i have ever heard better. it is not a cheap SUT but compared to my S9 it sort of is.

i will soon get the AN UK S9 back with my iogold and i look forward to getting an impression of the difference between the two on same table/same arm. my sense of it is that the ioGold/S9 combo is just radically massive. it will make the Delos seem like it is Pointilliste in nature (Seurat-ical?).

also whilst contemplating SUTs, i have assumed i want 5 mV of output. however i use a AN UK M6 RIAA. one thing i have noted it being said on web is that AN Kondo pre-amps work with quite high input levels (9 mV was mentioned). based on the volume levels i get out of my system with the 1:10 and the 0.6 mV Delos, i reckon same might apply to AN UK. which is to say if your winding times input voltage calc for a prospective SUT yields say 10 mV, then that actually might not be an issue at all for some preamps.

Yes. I listened to it a while ago in combination with a pre-amplifier convergent and the XV 1s and it was really good, but I haven't had the chance to listen to it in a direct comparison with other SUTs.

I read on the internet that it should also work very well with pha-200, which is active though
