N-set, you've certainly earned the right to enjoy your gear!  Again, which SUT will you use? No practical way to measure ESR, etc. on this, I suppose...


Paul, the SUT's are Pieter's Tribute MkII.
I could measure this or that on the SUT's but I trust Pieter and the only thing I've done was a
freq. sweep up to 100kHz (again with a proper equipment).
It seems to show no irregularities (I have some little doubts at ultra low levels<1mV, but this may be RFI),
so I plan to try unloading the secondaries (they are moderately loaded at 82.5k right now)
and try loading the cart through the primaries...but that later.

Right now the SUT's are disconnected
as I'm experimenting with Decca carts, so I'll try to post my observations on the sound afterwards.
The only thing I can say at the moment is
that changing the ratio from 1:20 to 1:10 on Tribute's brought, in my modest circumstances,
the sound of the front-end to a different level, uncovering a whole layer of a vital sonic information.

Cheers,
N-set
