Title: Which transformers to buy
Post by: kill_surf_city on April 18, 2022, 03:59:32 AM

I'm about to buy an Eros for my Dynavector XX2 LOMC. Which SUT would I need? I've seen the 1990's mentioned a lot but the Sowter website lists the 9990's and 1590's as "ideal for Low Output carts". Which one would be the correct transformers to get? Sorry if this has been asked before.

I would want a 1:20 with that cartridge. The 9990 would be the transformer to use if you plan to run the XX2 for the rest of your life, otherwise the 1990 wired as 1:20 would be the way to go.

Gotcha. Thanks Paul!
