Best step-up between a Kondo M7 and a Lyra Skala

Hello 

I have been using a vintage step-up (UTC A11)  between my preamp Kondo M7 and my cartridge Lyra Skala. The match was really good.

However, I had to give the UTC step-up back to my friend, and I am contemplating another option.

Do someone experienced a Lyra skala with a Kondo KSL-SFz stepup ? or maybe a KSL-CFz (menaing in copper nor in silver)

Or any other combination that match well (the UTC transfo are not easy to get in Europe ...!)

Thanks for sharing your experince

How about the Verion P transformer? I had one for years and then stupidly sold it when I needed some fast cash! I used it with a GAS Sleeping Beauty Super Elliptical. Excellent match into a Precision Fidelity C7 cascode-tube phono stage!

Later after Verion failed, Mitchell Cotter marketed those SUTs under his own name. Along with a unique phono stage called the PSC (Phono Signal Conditioner).

So I can recommend either the Verion or Cotter SUTs. Plus they look really cool in those heavy blue enclosures with the attached Verion Triaxial cables!

I presently have: a Bellari, a Denon. a Mike Sanders Quicksilver and two custom-made SUTs using Altec mike transformers. Oh, and a pair of the small Sony plug-in SUTs! Iron rules in my LP playback kingdom!
