Hifi Emporium branded S&B SUTs?

[anubisgrau]

Hello, anyone tried these and what are the impressions?
They seem to be pretty big, size wise similar to TX102. They are fixed ratio (TX102 can be switched internally) so I suspect they may be a kind of single primary TX102. Also price is about half of the TX102.
Anyone?

I can just see them making a better product for 3rd party sales than they make for themselves?

i will. do you know what is a ratio of your ST-80?

i will. do you know what is a ratio of your ST-80?

Ortofon state 27dB, which works out at 22 x voltage gain.

i'll have a pair of those for test soon and i will report the findings. can't believe i'm the first one to try them here...

got them. they sound decent, so far with 301/FR64fx/SPU spirit into them. they resemble sowther 9990x a lot in the way they sound, actually do not sound. i find them pretty much without any sonic stamp, very even and neutral. i have 1:10 version which is a plenty for my current setup and 0.24mV of SPU. FWIW they seem not to have any "psychodelic" attributes some SUTs may have (to make a nicer sound than what it is).
