Thanks for that Grant. I just bought it!Originally Posted by struth
It's not one I've come across before and it'll have to go some to better my Osawa. But if I decide it's not for me, I'm sure I can resell it without a loss.

Me too. I'll have to flog something now to contribute towards it. Maybe the Ushers and my Art Audio SUTs (very reluctantly).

That Luxman SUT must have been listed very recently. I've been scanning eBay every night for likely candidates and for interesting carts. There's a rather buggered sixties Ortofon SPUGT on there at the moment that needs a rebuild (new catilever/tip/service etc., but I know how good these things are and I'm so very tempted. Even if it'll cost me three or four hundred quid to get sorted. I'll go without food (and even beer) for a good MC!

I've got a serious Decca deficiency feeling at the moment. I fancy a Mk.III or Mk.IV and there are some decent candidates on The Bay at the moment, but being a bit skint (poor pensioner syndrome), I'm being wary (but not necessarily sensible).

was it a BIN price? it was quite low. i have the same one, i remember i paid a bit more in pounds but than the euro rate was better so i guess we paid the same in euros:=)Thanks for that Grant. I just bought it!

edit - actually, no they aint the same, mine is a low impedance version, 8030. yours is for denon 103 and similar.

well, there is something special about vintage japanese toroidal mc transformers wound with silver wire.
it's an excellent all rounder. if you manage to source both transformers, 8020 and 8030, you can actually cover all the needs you may have with different pickups. there's actually the third model too, 8025, just very seldom.
there's a room for a tweak there because the signal goes through rather complicated by-pass switch that lies on a small board. i don't think anyone needs that and i'm pretty convinced that removing this circuit may elevate luxman performance to the level of the best ortofon silver transformers from the 80s.
