Ok, pushing equipment at this point is premature. It doesn't really answer my question.
elliotnewcombjr, I've been at this since the 70's. I have a few SUTs, and SUT's are not without their own issues, no matter how good they are. You still get distortion, though different from active stages. I see SUTs as a situation dependent option, but I am looking for an active phono stage that can handle low output MCs and MMs.
I am not looking for ancient vintage stuff (I owned enough of that back in the day), I'm looking for new/demo/still under warranty stuff.
