Dave at Intact, I would never argue with you, but in this case, the OP originally said nothing about noise and only mentioned that he sensed overload when he did insert a SUT. Good point, though, about noise. Even in his latest post, the OP does not mention noise per se as an issue with no SUT, but he does say he prefers the SUT to no SUT with certain recordings. So there you go. I would never use an (original) DG recording as any sort of standard; those used to make my ears bleed. They are not just hot in terms of level but also in terms of treble emphasis. Kind of like Roulette LPs in the jazz genre.
Recommandation for 1:6 1:8 SUT under $5K?
I’m looking for some advice on a step-up transformer that pairs well with my Audio Research LS28SE, PH9, and Hana Umami Blue cartridge. I currently have both the Denon AU-S1 and AU-340. The AU-S1 sounds absolutely beautiful—very transparent and open—but at 1:13 the gain is too high, and I’m getting some clipping, especially on dynamic peaks. Even with the AU-340 at 1:10, I can still hear a bit of overload. I’ve tried playing with loading and parallel resistors, but the issue really comes down to gain. I think something in the 1:6 to 1:8 range would be perfect, enough to keep the clarity and tone I’m getting from the AU-S1 but with better headroom. My budget is around $5k, and I’m open to any recommendations for a high-quality SUT?

intactaudio, lewm, everyone I encourage watching the video, it’s a unique solution, and he discusses noise among other things https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBnxwatJu_w I bet big bucks the interviewer is faking his understanding, but no matter, Robert just keeps on yapping |
Audio Note uses Silver Wire, you might contact them, ask their advice https://www.audionote.co.uk/resources
good luck finding the gain specs, if anyone knows, please share |
