I'm wondering if anyone has a MC step-up transformer lying around that may be available.
I'm curious at this stage and I'm well aware I can buy a suitable new one from my local retailer. However, if there was something used floating around that I could try out, that would be most helpful.
It's for an SPU Meister Silver but if it also suited a HANA ML, so much the better.
Please don't baffle me with anything technical regarding ratios or impedance, that's not my strong suit and I will glaze over.  But if you know you have something suitable, let's talk.
TIA, Dom

You want the Ortofon T30 which can handle both those carts by switching ratios (via the front dial).

What phono stage are you using Dom ? Graham Slee Reflex M.
And just yesterday the SUT I ordered was installed and now my Meister Silver is "singing like a bird released."
It's a mid-century RCA MI-12399. So delicious. I made my own Belden/Switchcraft i/cs on the kitchen table, too.
I may even have to sell my Slee Reflex C!

Ah. You couldn't tried the Elevator EXP with the Reflex M.
Was the 100 and 1k settings on the Reflex C not to your liking with your carts?

The Slees are great, like a bargain Whest.
Should be OK with a Hana,
Dunno about the SPU though

Citroen, no I hadn't. I've acquired all my Slees on the used market over the years and wanted to try an SUT, not as they describe the Elevator: "It's the electronic equivalent of a moving coil step up transformer". So never really a consideration, especially not new.
My Reflex C doesn't have any switchable settings I'm aware of. Maybe other models do??

Great to hear the SUT is to your liking.
I have an Era Gold V, so the Elevator was an obvious choice. All secondhand as well.
The Era Gold is not in the main system anymore but the Elevator has remained! So flexible and so transparent.
