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?.

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.

Dear friends: Shane is right: it is not a cheap unit.

Our Phonopreamp are in " true " three preamps: one MC, one MM and one Line level stage, all independent. Now, the three are true balanced input to output, this means that in reality they are: 6 single ended stages!!!!!

In other words: six preamps in one integrated unit!!!!!!

Right now I'm out of home in a business trip. I return at the middle of the next week and I would like to make a plan for the " hearing " of that Phonopreamp.

Regards and enjoy the music.
