Lumiere SUT for Neumann DST, Lumiere, Tzar MC pickups

[anubisgrau]

I have one of this in my cupboard, it's a great SUT however I have no use for it since I gave up on sourcing Neumann or Lumiere. Step up ratio not ideal for my current pickups of choice.

Imported from Japan in 2016, I have never seen it for sale. Rare as hens teeth, I think Lumiere guy don't have it for sale anymore since SUTs are unobtaibium/ Based around Neumann NOS step up transformers you occasionally see for asking 2.5 USD on Ebay but that is ridiculous.

Built for Neumann DST, Lumiere and other clones.

Asking 1200 Euros plus shipping.

What's the ratio on the Gordan?

What's the ratio on the Gordan?

Actually I don't know. I have an original package but there was no any paper inside. Kikuchi-San of Lumiere fame made it as am off-shelf match for his DST clones.

If the web blahblah is to be trusted, it's made upon Neuman BV33 trafos so it should be 1:50 but don't take this for granted. I can't open the can to see what's inside myself and as you probably know, there's many controversial opinions on Kikuchi-San.

In the next days I will connect it again and compare with the SUTs whose ratio I know, though I doubt I have anything near such a big ratio in the house. I'm ashamed to confess I've never properly listen, let alone run it in. Probably a consequence of having too many SUTs in the house and among them a few that does job very good so no need for experiments. It needs very long run in time and I just couldn't bother. I bought it on my earlier Japan visits when it looked as if I would get the accompanying Lumiere pickup, which never materialized.

I have no doubts but someone else will do it, not me.
