Based on what Paul wrote, we are both off base. I did assume that your basic premise was correct, that Fremer does not care for SUTs in general. Guess he does care for some of them, if they are sufficiently pricy and unobtainable. But I also agree that he is excessively bashed on the internet; he is not a bad guy at all. However, I am still SUT-less in Bethesda.

I own a Silvaweld phono stage, which I use only for MM and MI cartridges. The Silvaweld products were designed and built by Mr. Park, who lately is the designer of Allnic products. It is quite interesting to me the 180-degree difference in design philosophy between the Silvaweld phono and the Allnic H1500 and H3000 phono stages. The Silvaweld uses a JFET at its MC inputs to boost gain before the signal is fed to a tube-based RIAA corrector. If you use the MM inputs, the signal goes directly to that first tube in the RIAA. There are zero audio transformers, let alone any SUTs, in the Silvaweld. Further, the Silvaweld uses a conventional RC network to effect RIAA equalization. However, as you may know, the Allnic stuff uses a plethora of transformers, including a SUT for MC cartridge inputs. Plus it uses LCR for RIAA. It would be of interest to know why and by what process Mr. Park changed his approach to design.
