Does anyone know if current mode phono preamps use SUTs?
I believe most phono preamps have them automatically built in.

https://www.decware.com/newsite/ZP3.htm Note: This is a MM phono stage which can't handle low output MC unless you use a SUT. Gain + 42 dB With optional step up transformer + 61dB |
As far as I know NVO and Aesthetix are the only companies producing tube phono stages capable of providing adequate gain for a low output MC phono cartridge without using a SUT or SS gain stage. Aesthetix makes two models. Rhea and Io. The Io is not be in your price range new, but it might be if used. |
Why would millercarbon mention an MM phono stage that doesn't meet the OP's requirements of handling a LOMC? He claims he reads well and admonishes others when they don't. Well of course...so he can shamelessly pump a brand that's on his list of brands to talk about everywhere and at all costs. There are many all-tube MM-only phono pre's out there. Dude has no shame.... |
