ZYX Airy 3 Best SUT


I want to run an Airy 3 via a SUT into my Audible Illusions 3A MM input. The gain on the phone stage is 28db & the line stage is 30db. I am looking at upgrading my preamp further down the track so this is only a temporary set up, I don't want to spend big money only around $1,000. According to the specs the output on the Airy is 2.4mv & the Recommended Load Impedance is >100 ohms.
Could I please have some recommendations?
Thanks in advance.

I have the same cartridge and use the Auditorium 23 sut that is ostensibly maximized for Ortofon SPU carts. It is a perfect match. Have also used lundahl/k&k audio sut's and jensen sut's as well as an inboard shindo sut in a Masseto preamp, but the A23 sut really really works well with the zyx.
As an aside, my K@K sut had resistors to vary the loading, but the A23, albeit at a little more than twice the price, bettered it without any resistors to monkey around with.
