Guys,

In preparation for the imminent arrival of an Ortofon ST-80SE moving coil step-up transformer:

I’m selling my Auditorium 23 SUT, which is specially designed (voiced) for the Ortofon SPU, by respected audio designer Ketih Aschenbrenner. Here is a picture of the unit:

The unit I'm selling is in mint condition, and forms a sonically symbiotic partnership with all SPU cartridges, matching them optimally both electrically, in terms of impedance and gain, and sonically, in terms of optimising the traditional traits of the world-famous SPU cartridge, such as tone and timbre, effortless dynamics and musical realism.

Read a (very accurate) review of the A23 here: http://www.toneimports.com/auditorium23/a23stepup/a23stepup.html

More info can be found about the A23 SUT, the designer, Keith Aschenbrenner, and the rest of the company’s products here: http://www.toneimports.com/auditorium23/a23stepup.html#...

The SPU version of the A23 normally sells for $1375 (as you will see in the Six Moons review here: http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/auditorium23/23.html), which at today’s exchange rate is around £874.00.

However, I am selling this very special SUT for only £450!!

If you’ve got an SPU, and really want to hear what it can do, but don’t want to spend megabucks on the very high-end SUTs, then grab an absolute bargain and hear your favourite music like never before!!

Interested parties either reply here or PM me.

Cheers, chaps! :cool:

Marco.

That's a great opportunity for someone at that price, Marco.

Indeed, Chris.

Anyone out there, for example, using their SPUs into a solid-state MC phono stage, which has the provision for both MM and MC, or perhaps have made a DIY SUT, on a budget, and fancy something better, will be able to release the true potential of their SPUs with the A23! :)
