About the Cinemag Sky 30 Step Up Transformer

The Bob's Devices Cinemag Sky 30 is a meticulously hand-built moving coil step-up transformer (SUT) housed in a hand-polished black powder-coated cast-aluminum enclosure. It features two proprietary CineMag SKY (Blue Version) transformers with ultra high-quality laminations and lower inductance for superior sound performance. The device offers switchable gain settings of 1:15 (24 dB) and 1:30 (30 dB) to match a wide range of low-output moving coil cartridges. It includes gold-plated RCA input and output connectors, a grounding post, and a ground lift switch to mitigate ground loop hum. Construction uses resistance soldering with the American Beauty system to protect delicate transformer wires. The Cinemag Sky 30 is praised for its transparent, analytical, and musical sound, excellent soundstage openness, precise imaging, and detailed resolution. Optional XLR connectors are available on a larger chassis for an additional cost. This product is recommended for audiophiles with a suitable budget due to its premium price and performance.
