Hello folks,
I received my Bob's Devices SKY 30 SUT today and I am listening to it right now.
2 records played and I can say that this SUT is not for the faint hearted !
It throws a huge image, with lots of weight and details. The bandwidth increased by a huge amount on both sides of the spectrum.
The sound is radically different than the MC stage of my Cyrus phono stage. It reminds a bit of the Hommage SUT.
The problem is that before the insertion of the SUT, with the Vermillion into the Cyrus MC stage, the sound was clearly tilted to the mids with a slight cut in high treble and bass. So the mids were beautifully delineated with the voices completely apart from the instruments.
With the Bob's SKY 30, I get so much more details and extension of the spectrum that my ears and my mind do not find the magic of the mids that was so obvious in the MC stage of the Cyrus.
It may be just a question of time to get used to this new sound which is much more focused and neutral than what I got before the adding of the SUT. Or my ears may finally prefer euphony and less details ? Time will tell.
Something is sure : Bob's devices SUT are stunning and truly impressive. At least for the ones looking to the " very best" sound possible with an MC cart.
Bob is a great guy to deal with. Highly available and responsive to your particular needs.
