The stylus traces the terrain within the groove.

Step up moving coil.

We have a great online selection at the lowest prices with fast free shipping on many items. The moving coil cartridge is a truly low impedance voltage generator. Step up transformers sut match low output moving coil pickups to standard phono preamps. Each sut is hand made one at a time using point to point wiring and individually tested.

Hand crafted in the usa. Step up transformers for moving coil cartridges are the most esoteric and misunderstood items in the world of hi fi and this partly explains why they are so seldom used. This mismatch can be overcome by either amplifying their existing tiny voltage or. Because of this it is possible to use a transformer to step up the voltage by factors of 10 or more times without causing any impedance interface problems with conventional phono preamplifiers.

Models available for 3 ohm to 45 ohm pickups. Custom step up transformers sut for moving coil mc cartridges. Next the ortofon st 7 is a stereo sut with 20 1 step up ratio priced at 450 that is broadly suitable for most stereo moving coil cartridges including most ortofon spus. This is a great shame because the use of a good transformer gives the best possible performance from a moving coil cartridge.

First the playback chain exposed. Note moving coil cartridges generally have more overall energy than moving magnet cartridges this is mainly because their stationary magnets are more powerful than those that are moving. Jensen s extended frequency response and time accuracy produces legendary sonic transparency while faraday and double magnetic shields gives them immunity to hum and rf interference. The mcl is a step up transformer designed to raise the output of moving coil cartridges up to a level compatible with moving magnet phonostages.

Copla is a moving coil step up amplifier designed to drive a moving magnet phono pre amp. You use it like a tone knob. The physical imprint of an acoustic waveform is stamped into soft vinyl an lp. Outline notes on moving coil step up transformers part 1.

However it is easily bettered by the phasemation t 300 which costs just 100 more. The problem to overcome is that their energy is mainly in current while preamplifiers sense and amplify voltage. No circuit boards are used. It is the active electronic equivalent of a step up transformer sut allowing control of active moving coil impedance.

One dial provides variable added richness and dimension to the response of your moving coil cartridge.
