CineMag SUT


Hi all,

I would like to get a step up transformer for my Phase Tech MC cart P3G. I never experience it before but many Garrad & clasic stuff user would use CineMag CMQEE-3440A. The price is reasonable. If you are one of the user too, please share more. The most I want to know how it sounds (taste). The final question, I don't have any classic stuff but new turntable & tonearm.

Not sure it would be a good match for my system?

I use a Bob's Devices Cinemag SUT, among other transformers, with Denon 103 and Ortofon SPU cartridges. The Cinemag has quite an objective sound, not dark nor florid, but harmonically rich and tonally correct. I have Koetsu and EAR transformers, and have used many other notable transformers in the past. The Cinemag is quietly correct, unerringly musical, detailed in the way natural acoustic music is enlivened by transient events, and with two-position gain, eminently matchable to a range of cartridges. It works quite well with Koetsu, SPU and has a special affinity for Denon moving coils.
