No, high gain MC phono stages with 100 ohm input (without transformers) are available from various manufacturers, some of them gives us optional loading, which is great.
There are MC phono stages available with built-in SUTs too.
Don't forget about the MC head-amps (pre-preamps) devices that are not passive SUTs, but an active devices designed to be used between the turntable and MM phono stage. One of the very best is ZYX CPP-1 headamp with 125 oHm input for MC.
Still, I believe that any SUT is designed to be plugged into MM inputs, though I could be wrong.ONLY MM (47k Ohm) input, right
Most MC stages are simply MM stages with SUT’s built into the preamp. So I don’t think you should plug a SUT into another SUT.
