I noticed many members have moved on to a SUT, does it replace your phono preamp? is it added to your preamp??
what is a SUT? do you build one or buy one?
So is there any benefit in running an SUT into a flexible stand-alone MM/MC phonostage, or is it more applicable to run into an integrated or receiver that has only an MM stage and/or a "fixed" MC stage?
The cartridge out put is a major factor in choosing the SUT .
For example the Ortofon Rondo Red that you posted in another threat has an Output voltage at 1000 Hz, 5cm/sec. 0.5 mV .
The same put put all the way up to and including the Ortofon Rondo Bronze.
For that series, you will only need a basic SUT.
Check this one out, an old work horse from years gone by:
Vintage Ortofon STM 72 MC Step Up Transformer
I am going to use a Ortofon Rondo Red, but this seems complicated. I was also going to use a Denon DL103R

You will only need a SUT capable of boosting 0.5 mV.
