Not hearing much out of it recently Dermot, bought a Denon 304 cartridge second hand recently and I definitely now need a SUT for it.
Bought 2 Sowther SUT's in the last week so trying to figure out now how best to wire them in, taken a bit of a DIY approach with no real knowledge of what I am doing but that is the way I have been going all my life so why stop now!!

Hopefully in the coming weeks I can figure it all out and get the turntable spinning again and see where we are now with Computer Audio versus Vinyl :-))

Hi Pearse,

I have a Rothwell MCL SUT ready to plug and play. You're welcome to try it if you like.

You vary the resistor across the secondaries Pearse to load the cartridge appropriately....


Have a look here:

Hi Terry, would definitely be interested in trying it out, will PM my details and arrange for pickup.
Thanks for the offer.
Cheers,
Pearse.

Thanks Fran, looks like I need to do some more study and that site looks like a good start.
I am hoping to order a new cartridge cable from VPI in the US next week with the plug on the end which I can use to prepare for breaking in to the existing wiring on the TT. They were stocktaking this week so hopefully I can get an order in next week and begin preparing for some DIY in the coming weeks.
Hope I do not need resistors but if I do it should not be a big deal.

If the SUT from Terry works well then the project may go on hold for a while!!
Cheers, Pearse.

Me too Ivor!

:)))))

how has it been since Dermot? The speed control on my old Roksan has given up the ghost so it might be time to replace. I have a Mitchel techno arm so it should fit like a Rega.
Vinyl -anything else is data storage.
