SUT advice

I am restoring a Garrard 401 and intend to mount a Ortofon 309D, the 12' version. I chose the 309D for the flexibility of removable head shells and intend to use, alternately the Ortofon Silver Meister SPU(0.3mV) and the Miyajima BE mono cart (0.7mV). I am looking for advice on a SUT, compatible with both carts that will be plugged into the MM input on my Nagra VPS phono.
This is a fun project and not to compete with my main vinyl rig.
Any suggestions/comments welcome
Thanks in advance

Ortofon Verto should work nicely.

Hello Pradeep,

How's your 401 project going? I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts when your project is done. What kind of plinth did decide on?

Regards,
Dan

Are you looking to improve upon the SUT's built into the Nagra?

Hi I've been thrilled with my E.A.R. MC4 SUT into my 2nd Input in my Nagra...

The primary cartridge I've been using in a Allaerts MC2 Finish (.2mv)...

I will say my Lyra Atlas via this SUT also sounds pretty damn great into the Nagra...I won't say it's better than than the MC input...but it's more resolved and pleasing...I tend to flip back and forth some depending on the recording...

I like Jfrench's recommendation of EAR products very much. Their vinyl components are outstanding.
