I really want this one. But the timing is all wrong. Le sigh….

Fortunately, I have a couple of those available at the moment!
I've updated the first post with inventory and photos... and there are even more SUTs coming soon!
Hey, it arrived early! Excellent!
Here's an odd one...
I've built with a lot of Harman Kardon XT series transformers, but these XT-2s look completely different... They have a different label and a crappy paint job and they measure a little differently than the "regular" XT-2 I have to compare them to. So I wondered if maybe it was a fake. Loose bases too, so I had to re-glue 'em.
I popped one of the round labels off the top when I was cleaning them up, and it had yet another "XT-2" marking on it so I'm ruling out the "counterfeit transformer" scenario. I think maybe HK changed their spec at some point and wanted them to look different. Who knows?
Whatever the case, they sound great -- just like any other HK XT transformer I've built with. Someone's in for a treat.

I need a SUT for SPU. Newbie on this forum. What’s the process?
What he said….
Too much. A little north of a grand. Ping me for more specific details, but these particular Peerless transformers are the crème de la crème and they are worth the premium, IMO.
They also make the perfect accoutrement to all the best Thanksgiving meals.
Seriously folks I bought a new preamp (a very highly regarded one) with built in MC and different loading capabilities so as to have more flexibility on carts, but just now put a Redboy 4722 sut back into play with my old preamp and it's making me re-think my decision
That's more a testament of the quality of these old input transformers -- a good quality, passive transformer (properly matched to your system, of course) is hard to beat when it comes to dead simple gain. I'm just a hack pluggin' em into boxes.
Hi everyone, I wanted to add some good words after purchasing a RCA MI-12399 SUT from Redboy. Construction is immaculate and the SUT sounds really good. It’s different sounding but on par with a much more expensive SUT I have here. It seems to me that Mr. Redboy has a vast knowledge of what all these SUTs sound like and that kind of experience is invaluable. :-)
