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

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.

Kevin Carter told me his step-up would benefit from about 100 hours of burn in. He recommended running the outputs of my CDP to the SUTs inputs. Worked fine for me.
