Hi Sebrof,
Yes, that's correct, except that it's conceivable that better sonic results would be obtained by using the SUT and the MM setting, compared to using no SUT and the MC setting. Which is why I suggested trying all of the possible configurations.
For one thing the SUT provides two possible load settings (approximately 37 and 118 ohms, as shown in the reference I provided), rather than a single 100 ohm value. It wouldn't surprise me if the 37 ohm value (corresponding to the setting on the transformer labelled "10 ohms," that number presumably referring to recommended cartridge impedance as opposed to load impedance) provides best results.
Also, of course, the phono stage could conceivably provide better sonics in its MM mode than in its MC mode.
Best regards,
-- Al
