VAS MC One Transformer


I bought this years ago, and I think a MkII has come out since. Since I'm currently using two MC cartridges, and there's a bit of hum using the Quad 24p phono stage in MC mode, I found it and slipped it in and switched the Quad to MM. Certainly cures the hum!

A question re loading. As I understand it the 47kΩ of the MM input of the phono stage is now irrelevant, only the low (47Ω) or high (100Ω) inputs of the transformer matter?

The load numbers look wrong, mine start at 3ohms and go up to 40ohms.

I think a 100ohm load would have little gain.

I'm of the 'I don't care' school and use the setting that sounds best.
