step up transformer?

I know a couple builders who are big fans of Jensen SUT. The Jensen MC SUT use to be in your price range (don't know about these days, particularly with the weak dollar vs. the pound).

Rothwell, another English company also makes MC step ups that have a good reputation.

Dear Fromunda: I think that a good alternative is Ortofon, they design very good SUTs for its cartridges. Ask them.

Regards and enjoy the music,

I am confused.

The Fosgate sig should have more than enough gain straight in, and as you know is designed for both MM, and MC.

Why is it that you want the SUT?

Do you want to bypass the first layer of amplification and switch to the MM position?

Cartridge loading from 100 ohms to 100k ohms -- with stops at 300, 500, 1k and 47k ohms in between -- when I try to switch different loads with the knob there is no discernible difference at all as to sound. Maybe I am looking at this all wrong,shouldnt I be able to hear sonic differences as I move through various loads?

yes you should....it should be very noticable....I wish I could offer you help on why you're not hearing this...
