Our thoughts

Silver windings on a nanocrystalline core, shielded twice over, make this a step-up designed around keeping a moving coil's very small signal quiet on its way to the phono stage.

The 99.9% pure silver winding is intended to keep the signal path as low-loss as possible, which matters when a moving coil has very little output to spare. Mu-metal magnetic shielding and OFC copper ribbon electric shielding are there so that interference from nearby equipment has less chance of reaching the signal. The 1:20 step-up lifts that low output to a level the phono stage can work with.

It suits owners with one of the listed moving coils from Ortofon, Goldring, Hana, Dynavector or Lyra, provided the cartridge's impedance falls between 1.5 and 9 Ω. Cartridge matching and phono stage loading are the decisions to talk through, so give us a ring or stop by the showroom and we will take it from there.
