The ATH-2 REF is a terrific SUT. It’s a little more sensitive to placement regarding hum, but for me, that is outweighed by its very convenient switching facility to handle three cartridges plus two input impedance choices and a bypass (great for my SPU Mono GM MkII). The only SUTs I’ve compared it to were the Ortofon ST-80E and the EAR-MC-3. No contest.@miniguy,
Sorry for hi jacking this thread a bit but I have the same TT and also the ATE2. I’d like to know your opinion about the ATH2 Ref step up please as I consider it for me ? Also how does it compares to other SUT
Was that the ATH-2A or the ATH-2 REF? Big difference. If the knobs were not gold colored, it wasn’t the REF.I had an ATH-2. We are talking Airtight right? I bought it just to try it. It did not work in my system and made me wonder why bother having in the chain. I even used it with its own Airtight Opus and MSL Platinum. It made my Opus and MLS sound mediocre. So I sold it cheap to Howie. Howie didn't seem to like it either. Probably already passed on to the Third victim.
Just want to give the other side of the view.

Was the Live Sound with the HM-3 or HM-7 transformers?IHad the first ATH2 (not A) and sold it for a Live Sound with Hashimoto. No regrets. But the Ref seems different, better done, and now I have several carts. That’s why I asked.

The HM-7 is a top class transformer competitive with the best I think.Mini guy I have the Live Sound Hashimoto HM7.
See post #36So 2 very different opinions about the ATH2 Ref….
I am not using any now. I listened to WE 618B on two systems. It sounded quite impressive comparing with and without other transformers that were used in both systems. So I bought one now waiting for delivery.What SUT do you use now?
You say 2K in forum. This means you had it for 1.5 max.I have a Tango MCT 999 SUT in yamamura case with Western electric cabling that I will sell one day after compares. I bought it and is still in box, 2k euro. Collectible because of the yamamura WE association
