    SOLD FS: Vintage Alnico Ortofon SL-15E moving coil cartridge and matching SUT

    Superb example of an original Alnico magnet SL-15E - this is essentially an Ortofon SPU in terms of design principles, but higher compliance (reflecting changing fashions of tonearm design of the time, in particular relating to the needs of bouncy turntables with lightweight tonearms, along the...

    SOLD: Vintage Alnico Ortofon SPU-G

    Absolutely stunning example of an Ortofon SPU-G. This is an original Alnico magnet SPU (not a post 1990s reissue), with spherical stylus (original). The original Alnico magnetic material in early SPUs are what give them that wonderful organic but dynamic performance. The spherical stylus should...

    Partridge MC Step-up Transformer

    Built using a pair of Partridge 973a. These have a 1:16 ratio, which is ideal for a wide range of MC cartridges. It gives a useful bit more gain than the usual 1:10 suspects, but leaves a touch more headroom than 1:20. With a standard 47k MM phono stage, 1:16 gives an effective load on the...

    Audio Note Refurbished AN IO and AN S2 SUT

    Some of you may have read on here that our house sale fell through and as we need to get to immigrate to be with elderly parents we will rent out our home instead.  Sadly this means that we need to raise funds for the move and some hifi and musical items very reluctantly need to be sold.   You...

    FS - Hashimoto HM3 SUT

    Here for sale is a pair of the legendary Hashimoto HM3 SUTs which need no introduction. They have been built into a very nice compact aluminium box by the excellent chaps at Deco Audio. The box has a small nick on one side as per final photo. The SUTs have been very well shielded which results...

    Cheap and cheerful solution to needing MC

    I've got a Quad 34 with built-in MM phono stage, it was running fine with a HO MC and I should have left it alone :) I was lent a LO MC and SUT and in honesty, in this system, I preferred the cheap and cheerful 'pick-it' cart over the rather tasty Saec cart. This might be as much to do with...

    Living Voice SUT

    I am offering for sale my Living Voice SUT. I used to use this with my Definitive modified Art Audio Vinyl One to very good effect and believe its step up ratio is 1:10. If it helps I have used this SUT + the Vinyl One with a Dynavector Karat, Transfiguration Phoenix (old version), vdH MC One...

    Supex SDT-1000 SUT

    Supex SDT 1000, excellent condition, a couple of tiny marks. A superb step up but I've bought a posh audio note SUT to match my io, so this may as well go.  Sounds great with the io and matches with most vintage cartridges, such as Supex 900, 1000, 1100, 2200, Koetsu, Kiseki, Dynavector Karat...

    SUT experiences

    Thought I would share some thoughts on my experiences with SUTs.    Despite having had phono stages that support both MM and MC, I have ended up preferring the sound of my MC carts via SUT into the MM setting.  I usually find that a well matched SUT brings an extra level of refinement and...
