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.

I find it quite incredible how many people on A‘gon indulge in absolutist and arrogant language without any knowledge basis for their argument. Don‘t be discouraged by them, your contributions are always well founded and instructive. Thanks for that.

Anyway, thank's for the links, very informative. We are waiting for the Holmz measures about

@rauliruegas Things are moving slowly, and i am not providing evidence.
I am just trying to get the loading right by using a graph,
 

Dear @antigrunge2  : " arrogant language without any knowledge basis for their argument. "

Please give us an examples of " arrogant language " from "  incredible how many people on A‘gon.

 

and if you can share with us from where or why you said " without any knowledge basis for their argument. "  Some examples could be fine.

 

Appreciated.

When I left the TT a few weeks back, it was looking like this:

 


So it is on the table of the operating theatre and a new bearing is en route.

I was not able to find an anodiser to anodise the arm board, so I’ll put in, in the shiny raw alloy state.
