For Sale

Vinylsong LCR Valve MM/MC Phono Stage.

I purchased this direct from Diy Hifi Supply. It had been previously built by a customer and was being sold on commission after being serviced. I have replaced the cinemag transformers with Partridge 1:25 step up transformers (here (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PARTRIDGE-MOVING-COIL-MC-STEP-UP-TRANSFORMERS-VINTAGE-25-1-973/361486099004?_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%2 6asc%3D35310%26meid%3D4804dff06edd4dc2b7f367affac7 3fb8%26pid%3D100011%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D3%26sd%3D3614 79203380)) and generally tidied up the wiring.

Lots of information on the web about these.

New, these were $1200 as a kit (plus shipping & duty). The Silk LCR's are about £350 a pair and the Partridge step-up's are £150


Looking for £495 plus delivery (£10 for most of UK) PayPal gift or Bank Transfer, or collect from Southsea.

Would it be a good idea to explain why there are two sets of step up transformers? Looks really interesting/tempting

The one set are the inductors in the LCR equalisation network.

L = inductor
C = capacitor
R = resistor

Yes, as Alan rightly points out, the larger ones are the Silk LCR's, not step-ups.

The smaller goes colour ones are the partridge step-up's.

What was your opinion of the Silk transformers. Was thinking about buying some for a simple SUT
