SUT suggestions for Audio Note System

If there is a boffin in this thread methinks his name is dover.  I stand by my recommendations.

Great.

You recommended a 1:10 transformer which is 20db.

If the M6 MM phono is only 18db he would end up with 38db in total to amplify a LOMC.

Awesome.

I agree with Bill.  If it is the .6mV version, then 1:10 would be the best match.  I saw that the M6 preamp is 18dB, but I don't have specs for the M6 phono, however, if it is a MM phono, I assume about 38 to 40dB.  If someone has the actual specs for the M6 phono, please let me know.   Bill has experience with my older SUT,  There is a newer version he hasn't heard.

Some people have asked for the specs of the M6 phono here they are below.

—INPUT IMPEDANCE

47KOhms Phono

-INPUT SENSITIVITY 126mV for 1V Output, Line Level

-GAIN @ 1KHz

68 db phono

16dB Line Level

OUTPUT IMPEDANCE <10 Ohms

OUTPUT NOISE (RMS) <0.08mV unweighted, Line Level

<15mV unweighted Phono

internal impedance of the Koetsu black is 5 ohms

Zesto makes a variable gain (4, 6, 8, 12x) and adjustable impedance SUT. You can easily fine-tune playing volume with pre/integrated amp volume control and have a bit of tone control with impedance setting on SUT. No need to agonize about details, just listen to what works for you. Works for me.
