Jan, Yes the SUT I have uses the HM7 Hashimoto transformers.
I chose the Choir Audio build after reading some positive user experiences in various forums. It works very well with both the Ortofon and Denon cartridges I use. The gain of the HM7 (1:30, 29dB) suits my low gain tube phono and provides a suitable 52 ohm reflected impedance for the 5 ohm Cadenza.
The built up Choir Audio model is fairly expensive, but (I believe) the transformers themselves are available from sources in Japan for DIY build.

How it stacks up against other options I couldn't say. It's far better than the (much cheaper) 'red' Cinemag equipped Bob's Devices model - but Bob's more expensive 'Blue' Cinemag model is supposedly much more competitive with the Hashimoto (but I've not heard that SUT - and perhaps it's gain options are not as suitable to my circumstances).

There seems to be lots of SUT options available at present and I have very limited experience.

Cheers, Paul
