I expect the S1000 is wired the same as your S800. The switch on my S1000 connects a pair of transformer windings either in series or in parallel. I removed the switch and simplified the wiring for a nice improvement in sound quality. I later replaced the 1980s RCA jacks with new Audio Notes for another improvement.
Audio Innovations Series 800 SUT - looking for info
I have just added an Audio Innovations Series 800 Step Up Transformer to my collection, and I very much like the sound, and how it works with my cartridge[s].
This model has a switch to load at either 3 ohms or 15 ohms.
I understand it was a product of Peter Qvortrup’s company before he started Audio Note, and that the transformers might be very similar.
Did A.I. make the transformers themselves, or purchase from a supplier? Can someone confirm the 800 has copper wire, while the 1000 has silver?
And if anyone knows this model and more recent Audio Note SUTs, your opinions on similarities and differences would be much appreciated.
