I live in the UK but happy to deal with a US supplier. Any recommendations please.
Yesterday I received a pre-owned Hashimoto HM7 Step Up Transformer in perfect condition.
When using the Manley Steelhead I always oreferred the sound of the lowest amplification factor (50) on the MM input but then needed the volume control at near max to get some decent listening levels.
Well Sir, I am blown away by the Koetsu Onyx on the Hashimoto SUT, still on the 50 gain position, that Koetsu sound I love is hugely improved. Dynamics on big band recordings are now really impressive. The volume control is loud at the quarter to position. Vocals are superb and the stage very good too
Wish I'd done this a long time ago!
