ikeda mc-transformer

Dear Eduard: I own Ikeda cartridge, not stepup transformer.But I can tell you that " the best stepup transformer is NO stepup transformer ". Change your preamp for a high gain preamp ( with built phono stage ) or change your phonocartridge. If you buy this mc-transformer you have to use adittional cables and conector ( and the transformer ) that always degrade the critical signal that comes from your phono cartridge.

Finally someone with a reaction. I allready have the Ikeda and the SpU gold and i want to combine with a Pulltec pc-10 phonostage. I was just curious if there were some persons using the Ikeda in their system. Thanks anyway, Eduard.

And an extra active gain stage does NOT add extra noise and distortions? What planet are you living on?
