Step Up Transformer Recommendations For Denon 103r

Posted by geezerrocket on November 15, 2014 at 11:24:26

I am looking for recommendations for a step up transformer for my new Denon 103r.

My vintage Sherwood S-5000 has just recently been rebuilt by Michael Samra and sounds magnificent, however, the phono stage is only capable of amplifying signals from a moving magnet or very high output moving coil.

I am pretty handy with a soldering iron so I am not opposed to diy or kits.

I realize there is a ton of stuff on the web regarding the Denon 103. That's the problem - there's too much information!

I would like to stay under $600 if possible. Maybe I would be better off with a Phonomena II outboard phono stage for $600 - dunno????

Thanks.

I ended up going with a semi diy cinemag 3440ah setup.

Thanks guys.
