SUT decision: Ortofon Verto vs Ortofon STA6600L

Friends,
I am considering adding a SUT to between my Lyra Skala cartridge and RCM Sensor phonostage. I have noticed that even with a cheap vintage Ortofon SUT there is a clear improvement in terms of musical flow and drama when compared with using the phonostage standalone. At the moment I can get a Ortofon Verto which is a new generation SUT by Ortofon (using Lundahl inside) or I can also get a vintage STA 6600L which uses an original Jorgen Schou SUT inside. Which of them is preferable ? Will the old tranny hold when compared to a latest Lundahl tranny ?

Not sure Pani. The Verto is very good. I have one that I am not using, so if interested let me know

Cheers

I've had great luck with a EAR MC4 paired with a Lyra Atlas...might be worth considering...

MC4 is very expensive. I am looking for a cheaper alternative.

I am trying to understand if the old Ortofon original Jorgen Schou SUTs are worth considering over the newer Ortofon.

I am also considering the Auditorium 23 SUT (SPU version).

Have you checked out the Bob's devices 1131 blue?

One you audition on of Bob's blue series SUT's (the 1131 or Sky 30) running into the MM section of your phono you will be amazed at the improvement. Built & backed in the USA & Bob is a wealth of information. {Check Art Dudley's Stereophile review.]

Go a set further: Try Bob's amazing cables. The synergy between Bob's cables & his SUT's is perfect harmony.

If you act quickly, before RMAF closes, Bob may extend to you a "Show Discount."
