What trans (SUT) for a Victor mc-5E cartridge?

I usually buy second hand SUT's on eBay - along with new custom-made ones using vintage microphone transformers (Altec). I also have a new Bellari ($450) that I like a lot. along with a Denon 340. Right now I have a Coral Sleeping Beauty mc on the FR29 arm/Ariston RD11 TT into one of the custom-made SUT's ($200). On the Pioneer PLX 1000 TT I have a Denon 103R into the Denon SUT. On these two TT setups the SQ is quite excellent!

Don't feel that you must spend a lot of money for an excellent SUT - like a silver-wire Koetsu ($2000). The Bellari I bought for $450 is about the most I personally would spend! There are some nice Fidelity Research SUT's available on eBay from Japan  for under $500!

I'm real happy with a Denon AU340 SUT. Has 2 sets of inputs, 3 and 40 ohm selection plus a bypass if one of the inputs that your using is a MM cart.

Uses Tamura TKS83 transformers but you can often purchase a complete Denon AU340 from Yahoo Buyee for less than the cost of the bare transformers elsewhere.

The Jensen mc-2rr-L would match up to that cartridge if it is 30 ohm internal impedance. The Jensen presents a load of 430 ohms to the cartridge, listed in the specs. It is a great sut for $599. Made in the USA...Tavish uses Jensen derived transformers in the Adagio. The Jensen mc-2rr-L was generally designed with the venerable Denon 103 in mind. That cartridge has an internal impedance of 40 ohms.

I speak from experience. I bought my first lomc and SUT back in 1977. A GAS Sleeping Beauty Super Elliptical (Coral B777) and a Cotter Verion P SUT (Jensen). $200 and $375. Before this I had two other cartridges: MicroAcoustics 2002E electret and a Dynavector 20B high output mc.
