MC Starter with Bent Audio MU SUT

[Mike]

the Shinkoh's were the best of all the types I tried.

I like those a lot too! Takman are also worth a try. It's definitely worth using quality resistors for this as they're in a critical part of the signal path.

There's an easier way to do this, and some prefer it.

Change the 47K resistor to 1 or 1.2meg and load the cartridge on the primary side of the SUT. If you want 100 ohm loading use a 100 ohm resistor on the primary, want 20 ohms? use a 20 ohm resistor... etc, etc. No complicated maths involved!

Simples! <squeak>

Yes!!!!!
I tried the Takmans, also Vishays.
I had to shop around a bit for everything, but most of what I used came from HiFi Collective
