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?.

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.

Raul. I have emailed you off line.

BTW, now that I have my Pass Xono back I am lot happier. The SUT's that I have listened to - EAR 834 and manley steelhead have been very dynamics but have had a sort of unnatural high end and rather loose bass with the EAR.

cheers
