Dear chakster, Dertonarm was the first who advised me to
get those FR-7 kinds with low impedance FR SUT's. My
problem was the assumption that one needs different SUT's
for different carts impedance. I own many MC's with different
impedance but I was reluctant to collect SUT's next to the
carts. His theory was/is that not only impedance but also
inductance need to ''correspond' with each other. I give up
because of the involved complexity or, to put this otherwise,
my technical inability to deal with the issue. But after some
time I discovered Denon S1 SUT which can be used for all
MC carts irrespective of their impedance. I see by your Luxman
8000 + 8025 proposition the same possibility as by Denon S1.
But ''your Luxman 8000'' has also additional transformers 8020
and 8030 which are in accordance with say, ''the old theory''.
8020 for low impedances and 8030 for high impedances.
If one has no idea about which theory is ''true'' one should
of course choose this possibility. The most of my MC carts are
low impedance but I also own some very good carts (Benz LP
and Magic Diamond) which are 40 Ohms. So if I can get this
''combo'' of 8000+ 8020 + 8030 I can't go wrong?
