SUT - electrical theory and practical experience
Some vinyl users use a SUT to enhance the signal of the MC cartridge so that it can be used in the MM input of a phono stage. Although I don't understand the theory behind it, I realize that a SUT should be matched individually to a particular cartridge, depending on the internal impedance of the MC, among other things.
Assuming an appropriately / ideally matched SUT and MC, What are the inherent advantages or disadvantages of inserting a SUT after the MC in the audio chain? Does the SUT theoretically enhance or degrade the sound quality? What does the SUT actually do to the sound quality?
Thanks.
Propa P***ing Match now in the making. It's all about the Bass about the Bass is knocked well out of the Ballpark, and the next Pitch is "What about Me, I don't like SUT's", I want to ruin this discussion with my usual BS. What a waste of a Good Thread, SUT Discussion well and truly of the rails for a while, I'm out of here.

Dear @holmz : What Dover posted. You can read the link rigth from the Ortofon cartridge/SUT specs and then the measured sqare wave.

it would have been handy to have a physical triangular wave - cut into the track… and then everyone would be able to generate the square wave without needing a signal generator, |
@holmz the CBS STR-112 has a 1kHz square wave for the test you propose but be warned the results of this test from a cartridge is not for the feint of heart. And yes as you suspect due to the riaa filter the actual cut of the track appears as a triangle wave. dave |
Thanks Dave - I ordered one. |
