Magna Audio News & Product Updates

Yes, the customer reports a great sound stage and very resolved. Hearing things not heard before and very quiet when not playing.

I'm going to copper case / upgrade the SUT next ;)

Here are some bespoke OFC copper phono sockets I made for Simon

I tested the M8 threads to destruction, torquing them up. They are plenty strong enough.

Just started a copper case for an Audio Note Step Up Transformer.

I'm retaining the front and rear panels that show all the settings and what plug goes where.

This will be a totally enclosed copper case with turned ebony feet and my copper phono sockets.

More to follow..

An update on the Audio Note Step Up Transformer case and my copper phono sockets project.
I turned ebony feet for it too.

It is about 20 years old featuring silver wiring and windings.
It needed a little TLC on the black fascia and knobs too.

Here it is all done.

I tested it thoroughly on my rig. Sounded great.
