Andr'e,
I'm sure John's intentions are entirely honourable even though his opinion differs from yours ;)
I'll contribute to this discussion, in terms of step-up transformers and their merits, in more detail later.

Dear Vinylscratcher
In principle I didn't refer to our own products. After having been the chief editor of an audio magazine (yeh a printed one) I've seen lots of transformers and preamps. My thinking about the subject has to do with that experience (and our own R&D of course).
And sure there are some nice sounding transformers around, I know.

Both traffo and active circuits have their downside, problem with MC is that its such a small signal it takes an extremely low noise circuit to work well, a lot of designs are either too slow or too noisy, traffo's also have their downsides as already mentioned, theres lots of cable in these things and good quality wound does not come cheap
I wouldn't like to put my money on which is the best way to go tbh
LOL! :DQuote:

If, hypothetically speaking, I wanted to try out a Purseound P10 with my AT-OC9, can anyone recommend a suitable step-up that costs no more than around £100? Or would it cost more than this? Anyway, any suggestions would be much appreciated.
