EMT STX 5/10 will be a good match for your vdH cartridge. you can use it at 1:5 ratio (14dB). it has silver transformers and I really like it's sound. another option is Kondo CFZ or SFZ with 1:10 ratio (20dB) and if you wanna go a little bit further you can consider getting a Kondo GE-1 phono which has 34 dB gain.
Best SUT For Van Den Hul Crimson Stradivarius cartridge
Please suggest a SUT For Van Den Hul Crimson Stradivarius cartridge.
I currently own a Ypsilon MC26L Ypsilon VPS 100 Phonostage.
However the highs are high. Since the cart is putting out 0.95 mV, it may be overdriving the phono stage as MC26L has 26 amplification ratio.
Even the lowest amplification ratio Ypsilon MC10 is recommended for carts 0.4-0.6 mV.
I am not sure if there are SUTs with 5 amplification ratio.
