Hello! My inaugural post! I upgraded my turntable and cart and I'm now MC (EAT C Sharp with the black ortofon quintet!), but I need a SUT to work with my tube preamp.
So Budgie used CineMag transformers for their SUTs, and the info on those are pretty good since CineMag published a bit about them. But if I were to compare that to Ortofon's ST-80 or Decware's SUTs, I only have some technical data. Do they wind their own transformers, or are they purchased? Do they use mumetal? I read that Decware's does, but not sure about Ortofone. I read somewhere that that can mumetal can account for some not inconsequential signal loss.
If anyone has done research to know which brands use which transformers I'd love to know more. Trying to get a sense of what money buys out there....
Cheers!
