EAR MC4 SUT with Koetsu Urushi Vermillion

[Jerome W]

Hello folks,

Just a few words about this great SUT.
The MC4 replaced the Bob's devices Sky 30 that I used with my Urushi Vermillion.
In my system, the MC4 is much more refined and natural sounding than the Sky 30 Cinemag SUT.
The voices are getting more real, the bass is more defined and goes lower. The treble seems at first less extended than the Sky but after careful listening of multiple recordings, I realized that this is just due to the better bass extension of the EAR.
Overall, the EAR made my LP playback more relaxed and at the same time more involving because of its more natural sound.
I am using it into an Halgorythme MM phono stage with NOS Brimar 12AX7 tubes and a NOS CBS 12AU7 output tube.

Tim de P of EAR is a Transformer Wizard. I have his 868PL Pre-amp which has the MC3 built in. I will be getting the 912 next year which has the MC4.

Beautiful system. The Platine Verdier is a beauty.

Yes, Tim seems to clearly understand what transformers are about.
