Commentary
A step-up transformer that meets the limit of the MC transformer and aims at the performance that draws out all of the excellent expressive power of the MC cartridge.
A twin configuration of E128 standard high mu core and 0.6 φ oxygen-free copper coil are used for core and coil which determine sound quality.
High-purity transmission is achieved by construction that eliminates induction noise such as a simple transmission path, special coil arrangement and triple shield structure.
