MC transformers - what do they sound like?


Besides providing gain, are good quality MC transformers transparent to the signal they are providing the gain to. Or do they give added/reduced bass weight, more high end sparkle, added grain or what?.
This is obviously compared to active gain
It seems that audiophiles either luv or hate MC transformers?.

Raul My suggestion that you build a prototype of your preamp was somewhat "tongue in cheek"(I don't know if that expression translates into Spanish)given the spec's and the fact that it is a vendetta clone, it would be worht it.

Personally I wish someone could "soup up" My SP 14 with varialble load resistance and capacitance. Also with the latest elctronic components.

Mostly because I like its straight wire with gain approach and the controls on the front panel.

Sorry, Downunder I suggested, it so I'm first.

Would you buy the phono stage if you liked it?? I would.
It is not a cheap unit. :)
Downunder-you certainly have thrown down the gauntlet!

Raul-Never enter into a conditional contract based on the customers satisfaction!:-)!
Gregadd, no guts no glory!

this could be the first step to a real priced Boulder phono stage beater!!
Dear Gregad: Our Phonopreamp is in no way a Vendetta clone ( with all my respect to JC. ), is is a very different design.

Stay tunned.

Regards and enjoy the music.
