Perhaps no so quickly but I need to say that all over my posts in this thread I was looking almost only what happens in my system with out leave my " eyes " to see the overall audiophile world.
Yes, the active high gain phonolinepreamp alternative could be or is the best way to go but those kind of units are really rare in the market especially true and real good phonolinepreamps designs and the few that exist has a way huge/high tag price that almost no one can pay for it.
So the SUT alternative is the real alternative either as an external option to a MM only phono stages or integrated in LOMC phono stage designs.
This is what almost all of us can find out/buy in the analog whole market and I think is the market mark for the years to comes.
In all my posts here and elsewhere I never said SUTs sounds wrong because it did not as a fact a PS + SUT sounds good and some times sounds very good and I can live with if necessary.
Regards and enjoy the music,
