If you used a SUT with your Esoteric phono stage for example, your phono cables would feed the SUT which would then be connected to your Esoteric set in its MM mode. There are some concerns which have to be addressed regarding proper loading when using SUTs which Bob could definitely assist you with. Some users prefer the performance of SUTs as opposed to using an active MC gain section, but there are many variables involved and preferences vary. Hope this helps!
