AS I'm getting a lot of requests for information about the differences between the Cole LCR and the Vinyl Song:

  Are other step up transformers, like the Silk, etc, able to be fitted in the chassis as you fit the Cinemags?

    There is open space but about 63mm of clear chassis height. The Silk would need to be on their side and oriented for least noise. We haven't tested that yet.
    BTW, the Cinemag give very good performance.

  Great feature/spec comparison chart Brian. I admit I don't understand output impedance specifications and I notice there is quite a difference between the two amps. 50 vrs ~600 ohms. I'm curious what the difference means in terms of two things.
  
  Is one able to drive a longer length of interconnect easier compared to the other? I'm thinking of an equipment rack change where my turntable and phono amp would be a few meters away from the amp.
  
  And what does the difference translate to in terms of matching to the input impedance of a downstream preamp? I have an integrated amp containing an active tube linestage that has an input impedance of 47K.

    Hi Bryan
    1. Yes lower output impedance means better to drive cables. So you do gain some extra flexibility but always good to try both ways
    2. Usually 10:1 or more for driven:driving equipment. So no problem for your setup.
