A few years ago I auditioned the Hashimoto H7 against a Bob's Devices 1131. Koetsu Onyx and Jade Platinums, Fidelity Research tonearm,VAC Renaissance III w/ phono stage. My system was not as resolving as it is now, but I didn't really prefer one or the other, and kept the lower-cost 1131 (Choir Audio H7 was ~$1800). I would like to try the H7 again now, however. |

CineMag 1131 blue if my memory serves, I didn't hear the Sky during that time however. I wonder just how system dependant different SUT's considering the crucial and (hopefully) very short phono interconnect and/or preamp switching in the phono signal path.

Certainly the phono interconnect from a SUT is extremely crucial and should be kept under 1m length. Learned that the hard way!

I always used very short and shielded IC's with my A23 SUTs and never had a hum.
Stephen, in an old post about BOB's Devices SUTs, you stated that you got a hum with it and you resolved it by putting the SUT away from the phono preamp. So you had to use a longer cable right ?

If you wanted a shorter cable without hum you could try a grounded mumetal plate shield between the SUT & the pre. That said positioning experimentation is the first option.

It's also the simplest! 😉

I got it. Thanks Stephen. Bob recommended to me a Sky 30 for the Vermillion.

But reducing the cable length to 0.5m is definitely better IF you can achieve hum free positioning/screening hence my suggestion [emoji3]

The system sounds bloody fantastic as it is...
