BEST STEP UP XFORM. for the DYNA XV 1cart

David Slagle of Intact Audio will custom wind you one for a reasonable price. $450? Custom wound just for you. Comes highly recommended by audio budies who own and have heard them compared to the best out there either classic WE stuff or AN or Kondo.

Also FYI I use custom SUT in my Tron Syren made for Tron. They are available as a seperate item now in their own case.
Having owned top class active gain solid state units, they do not even come close to the music making ability of my Tron Syren tube unit with built in phono! Just my opinion.

If you have the $ to blow, look out for some Kondo made Audio Note (pls don't waste your time with AN UK regardless of price). My XV1s works nicely with an Expressive Technologies SU-1 and also an Audio Note AN-s9s.

Others you might want to consider are the Bent silvers and the Allnic

EAR has a new step up unit that given their track record may be a winner. With the pound being down, it may be a great value.

thank you all for your help the more choices the better

keep the ideas coming

cheers
