Approx. price: 180 EUR the pair (price quoted with European VAT) Test samples bought and paid in full. It is now 4 years ago, that I wrote my first article on different moving coil transformers. At ...

Seguo la sua rubrica ogni fine settimana e la sua lucida visione, piano piano, sta facendo breccia sulle mie cattive inclinazioni in hi-fi (non le confesserò quali, ma sono molte). L'aiuto che chiedo ...

A long time ago, in an analogue era far away, preamps were complicated things, with volume, balance, tone and loudness controls. They also had phonostages, tape loops and outputs for headphones.

Why use transformers at all? For years, many phono stage designs came up with direct moving coil input, be it from Mark Levinson, be it from Accuphase, or many others. I am doing DIY transistor for ...

Amplifiers are a good second hand buy. The only moving parts are the switches and potentiometer so wear in this area should be very easy to spot. Just switch the amp on and with nothing playing but ...
