I agree. I have had no luck with them. I think the j-fet before the tube gain stage ( as in the new Audio Research phono pre amps) is going to be the way to go.
MC transformers - what do they sound like?
Besides providing gain, are good quality MC transformers transparent to the signal they are providing the gain to. Or do they give added/reduced bass weight, more high end sparkle, added grain or what?.
This is obviously compared to active gain
It seems that audiophiles either luv or hate MC transformers?.
