Cotter Comparisons

I live in a small town and don't get out much. I was wondering how my old Cotter preamp system held up to some of the "new-fangled" stuff out there. Ten years ago, nothing I compared it to made me want to jump.

Perhaps good in 1960, but not any more in 2007. The transformer, however, is a different league, they are still very good even with modern cartridge in modern system.

For record, I also owned 2 versions of the Cotter step ups. The "L" version, as I heard, was not as good as the standard T version when used with typical 5-ohm cartridge (Koetsu).
