Damn, nice setup! Thanks for posting pics. I've got a SOTA (Star III) and a Kontrapunkt (c) myself. Would love to have an SME arm and Transcriptor phono like you've got, too
Have you tried comparing MC loading between the 38(?) / 150 ohms settings? I'm curious on how the Kontrapunkts might do below 100 ohms.
The step-up transformers inside the Transcriptor are what allows the high MC gain plus low noise floor, in conjunction with the tube MM gain stage. A combo that usually costs FAR more money from the traditional hifi phono manufactureres!
