Looking for a budget Step-up Transformer

In that price class, the advantage of a passive SUT should be questioned, versus a Hagerman Piccolo (JFET based MC step-up). Certainly lower noise with the passive, but perhaps compromised sound quality due to the budget transformers. I’d just avoid the CineMag Red 3440A. Maybe Jensen has something decent at that price. Lundahl LL9206 and LL9226 are ok, but the Piccolo is probably better. If you can acquire CineMag Blue 1254 at your price (any CineMag Blue really), those are great.

This is a very good SUT for the money.  https://hifi-exquis.com/tube-transformer/616-raphaelite-dt11-stereo-mc-pole-permalloy-step-up-transformer-20047k-114-hifi-exquis.html  It isn't quite as good as my DIY Lundahl LL1931 SUT but better than the Rothwell MCX.  

And I second the recommendation for the Andover Spinstage if your MC cartridge has less then 15-20 ohms of internal impedance.  It sounds fantastic.  But I don't know if they ship to the UK.

Rwegards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,

Thanks to all. Great suggestions :)

Unfortunately most SUT are from outside Europe, which adds to much costs.

I will keep looking…

Maybe look for a used Rothwell or whomever carries Lundahl.
