    It would be good to here an X and 7 together at some point.
    in my system, it had the same crazy detail extraction like both ortofons but lacked fluidity and tone. basically i would not say it was inferior, just very different, drier, and may need a more careful matching. or ortofon SUTs played to their strengths with my SPU... i would certainly not match it with lyra or AT, rather with something lush - koetsu

    Default Model 1 Phono upgrade

    This year marks the 20th anniversary since the first SJS Arcadia Model 1 preamplifiers were delivered, so it's nice to have one come back for servicing and upgrades



    This unit now has tantalum resistors, new psu caps, silver wire and new valves.




    What was really good to see was one of only two matching mm phono stages which were built as prototypes



    This shows it after it's rebuild with tantalum film resistors and new psu capacitors.



    and this is the power supply



    not bad for a phono amp

    oh my gosh , never knew there were so many types !
    ou might slip, you might slide, you might
    Stumble and fall by the road side
    But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
    Remember you're walking up to heaven

    Don't let nobody turn you around
    … Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
    Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
    And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

    Hashimoto have announced a price rise of 8 to 11% across their entire range of transformers from 1st November.

    The Model 9 SUT can be supplied with Hashimoto HM-3, HM-X or HM-7 mc step-up transformers, and special deals are available during October to beat the price rise.

    Dual primaries can be switched for high/low impedance carts, and the grnd connection on the primary can be isolated for floating the MC coils. The casework is lined with mu metal sheet for screening, and solid core silver hook up wire and WBT silver loaded solder helps to up the foo factor











    More details are available on my blog:
