Recommendations for MM Phono ~ Tube or Solid State

@lalitk - you may want to ask this on WBF where they may have deeper knowledge of the SUT differences, I only know EMIA David Slagle custom makes some of the best SUTs, and is on my shortlist if I go SUTs which would require my purchasing a “voltage” phono stage in addition to my “current” phono. 

the WBF search advice is good

I wasn’t impressed by Allnic H-6500. Surprisingly, my phono board in Accuphase Integrated sounded just as good as H-6500. Not sure, how much better H-7000 would be. Another observation, Allnic seems to have a very poor resale which somewhat deters me to consider buying new from dealer.

I am seeking suggestions on MM phono ahead of SUT. I am pretty much set on my choice as far as SUT. My dealer is sending over EMIA copper SUT to try out with my existing phono. In any case case, I will check out WBF. Thanks!

Why do you say Allnic has poor resale value?  Not based on my perusal of the for sale ads here. I guess it depends upon how you define "poor".

Is the EMIA specifically wound for your Etsuro Bordeaux cartridge?  I believe that is one of the reasons to buy their SUT.  I've heard systems with their SUT transformer, but, I have no way to assess the particular contribution of the SUT (the overall system sounded good).
