Moving Coil Step Up Transformer (MC SUT)

The signal from a moving coil cartridge is a delicate thing.

We start with Finemet Japanese transformers which offer a nice range of step-up ratio options. They are then urushi lacquer coated. Once cured, we pack them in Showa Period silk into handmade pure copper cases before mounting them to a heavy aluminum plinth. Only the best Cardas connectors are used to transfer signals in and out. With such an execution, we maintain all the fluidity and dynamic quality desired in serious vinyl listening; without the darkness associated with vintage irons, or the astringent nature of silver-wound cores.

Transformer ratios are 39.6 (31db gain), 21.7  (25db gain), and 10.8 (20db gain).

Custom options (input switching) are available.

The Treehaus MC SUT is $3,000.
