It's possible the problem is with your phono stage rather than the SUT. Your cartridge has 0.24-mV rated output, which would be amplified to 4.8-mV with the 1:20 turns-ratio. That is just about the perfect voltage for a moving magnet phono stage. The 1:40 setting amplifies your cartridge output to 9.6-mV, which is rather high and might be causing your phono stage to clip or distort on peaks. After all, you can expect up to 10-times the rated output when playing real records. That means the maximum voltage from the SUT to your phono stage can be as high as 96-mV from transients and loud musical passages.
If you buy the Hashimoto SUT, I'll be very interested to find out what you think of it compared to the 1131. I'm very pleased with my 1131, but if you think the Hashimoto sounds better, I might buy a pair and build my own enclosure. I've just gotten into building kits again and I'm currently working on a tube phono stage. ;-)
