Interesting that you mention the SUT. About a year ago I got a great deal on an Auditorium 23 SUT (not the Homage unfortunately), the one for very low output cartridges (so the one that matches best to the Orpheus). I tried it as an experiment expecting the difference to be fairly minor but it was significant so I kept it. Most noticeably it enlarged the soundstage and enhanced the separation between the images and the clarity/definition of each image in the mix.
It did intriduce a small amount of background hum that no amount of fiddling with cables or grounds could get rid of, but the hum is small and it stops as soon as the needle hits the record, so not a big deal.
Honestly my system is singing nicely these days and I think I should probably keep the Amadeus. But you know how it goes with the itch.
