> if I go with a LOMC then the SUT will cost me still [more]....cant win :)Yes, and I don't recommend skimping on a step-up transformer. I've had both the CM-3440A and Bob's Devices CM-1131 in my system, and the 1131 is quite noticeably superior. After hearing it, I could never go back to the 3440A.
Bob's Devices has a couple of new ones called the SKY 20 and SKY 30, which are supposed to sound even better than the 1131, but I haven't heard either. They are basically the same price as the 1131, which is not real cheap at around $1200. Bob doesn't even sell the CM-3440A anymore if that tells you anything. Therefore, based on my experience, it's not worth skimping on a step-up transformer. But, when you have a good one -- wow!
Good luck,
John Elison
