I need something to work with my Benz Micro ACE SL and a newly-acquired Icon Audio PS2. Budget up to £300.

I have heard good things about the RFC-MC1, new they are around £500 so 2nd hand should be within your budget - they are rare 2nd hand though. The Icon Audio SUT is around £300 new aren't they?

good news!would appreciate you posting back & letting us know what you think of itSorted now thanks - a Puresound T10 from Dave. appreciate the offers and advice
on contrary, 1:10 is the perfect ratio for ACE SL - it has a healthy 0.4mV output so it would feed a RIAA preamp with 4mV, whereas a standard for most of the branded (non DIY) phono preamps is 2.5 mV so some preamps will react to being fed with 3-4 times more input than what they are designed for...Ideally, I would be looking at SUTs with a ratio of 1:15, but 1:20, should be Ok. I found 1:10, does not suit Benzs. If you are not bothered by looks, by used, at £300, you should get something pretty decent, especially if you look overseas.
