This is our most update and advanced designed 0 to 40db (0- 100x of gain) phono cartridge step-up stage with the following extra-ordinary features
- Super high gain with one single tube non-feedback design, very silky detail and open airy sound stage. Normal MM phono stage has 40db of gain @1Khz, with this MC-1 an total of +80db of gain is possible, can work with any MC and MM cartridge on earth.
- no more bandwide limited and muddy sounding old school MC step up transformers. You can simply replace them with this unit and get a super boosted sonic performance in seconds.
- DC 12V power design, come with an AC to DC adapter for easy power up, or you can use an external 12V battery for power supply rolling and have lots of fun.
- All hand-wired point-to-point and component-to-component 3D assembly technology,almost 10 time more transparent in sonic performance and 3D holographic sound stage than those PCB fabricated products, no matter what crazy price they asked for.
- Suitable to use on any low output MC (0.1mV ~ 0.5mV), high output MC (0.5mV ~ 10mV) and MM cartridges (1mV ~ 10mV) and offer super high dynamics and low noise performance. Simply connect your turntable to the MC-1, then connect from the MC-1 output to your phono stage, zero effort with super upgrade .
- Heavy duty gold plated RCA sockets and grounding post
- input capacitance 200pF typical (optional: custom order value)
- input loading impedance selectable 10-200ohm (for low output MC cartridge) / 47Kohm (for high output MC and MM cartridges)
- In-phase amplification with super wide bandwidth of 5Hz ~ 120Khz (-3db), which can match and work with any MM phono stage. Immediately convert your beloved MM phono stage into a super high-end tube MC / MM phono stage with minimal cost
- small and compact in size, can easily locate a spot for lowest interference performance
- low cost with super high sonic performance, easily upgrade your existing phono stage to par or even better than those selling for 10x~20x more in the industry.
- 12V 1A DC power supply included , you can use whatever higher current rating DC power supply with 12V output , or you can use 12V rechargable battery as well (Automobile , lawnmower or RC car battery)
- Default tube : 12AX7 (alternate: 12AU7 / 12AT7 / 12AY7 / ECC81 / ECC82 / ECC83 / 5751 / 5814A...and all those compatibles)
