Our thoughts

Silver windings and double shielding are where this transformer makes its case, aimed at owners of low-output moving coil cartridges who want interference kept out of the signal.

The 99.9% pure silver winding on a nanocrystalline core is intended to carry the tiny output of an MC cartridge with minimal loss. The mu-metal and OFC copper ribbon shields are designed to keep hum and interference from the turntable and room out of the path. The 1:10 ratio lifts output by 20 dB, bringing a low-level MC into the range a moving magnet input can work with.

It suits owners of low-impedance MC cartridges, from Audio-Technica, Sumiko, Denon, Benz Micro and others, who want a dedicated step-up ahead of a moving magnet input. The 10 to 50 Ω cartridge window and how the transformer sits with your phono stage are the decisions to work through, so ring the team or pop in for a chat.
