Questions about SUT's


Hi everybody, do MC step-up transformers need break in?
If yes, how to make it faster? Would connect a tuner do, or I may end up frying the whole thing?
Also, do cables from SUT to phono need to be the same as those from arm to SUT?
Thank you all, Marco

My MC SUT (Denon AU-S1) sounds better now that I have some hours on it. I also used the Cardas test album to help expidite the burn in process. I'm using different cables on mine but will get around to making them the same someday (the placebo effect).
I would not hook a tuner up to it.
Enjoy the music
I am sure they do, all components need some break in. I can not remember the name, but there is a gadget that steps down a CD player output, to run through a phono stage/SUT, with a CD player on repeat. Sounds like what you need, I am sure someone else can give you the name.
There's an SUT burn-in method described somewhere on Arthur Salvatore's website. He reported good results.
