    Selling a beautifully put together pair of CineMag CMQEE-34440A step-up transformers, professionally cased and with two step-up ratios input impedances (switchable):

    - 1:18 / 37.5ohm for standard 3-12ohm cartridge (Koetsus, Lyras, Audio Technica, Ortofons, Shelters and most others)
    - 1:36 / 150ohm for 40 ohm output impedance cartridge (eg Denon 103, some Dynavectors).

    Selling as it's too high gain for my new Art Audio Vinyl One which has 50db gain rather than the 40db of gain most commonly found in mainstream moving magnet phono stages.

    See the following reviews of this pair of cartridges:

    10 Audio: http://www.10audio.com/bob's_devices_step_up.htm
    Stereophile: http://www.stereophile.com/artdudleylistening/listening_90/index.html

    In short, low noise, engaging musicality, great resolution, rich midrange and solid bass.

    Looking for £210 including special delivery or £200 brought to Scalford this weekend.

    Hi,
    Although I have a MC/MM phono stage I've read that these can provide a better impedance match for a MC cartridge.

    I'm offering £170 delivered.
