Stage 1030 MC Step-Up

About the Stage 1030 MC Step-Up

The My Sonic Lab Stage 1030 MC Step-Up Transformer is engineered to maximize the sonic potential of ultra-low impedance moving coil (MC) cartridges, especially those with internal impedance between 0.3 Ω and 6 Ω. Built in Japan using a special PS-SXIII transformer core material, it provides a gain of 26 dB and excels in delivering low-end weight, improved resolution across the entire frequency spectrum, and preserving signal integrity with minimal distortion. It reduces signal loss with low internal resistance, resulting in clear, open, airy, nuanced, and detailed sound while minimizing noise and grain. The transformer features rhodium-plated RCA and earth terminals for high-grade connections and offers a switchable input selector for floating balance or earth grounded operation. Dimensions are approximately 150 mm (W) x 65 mm (H) x 110 mm (D), and it weighs about 1.7 kg. It is ideal for pairing with My Sonic Lab MC cartridges and other low impedance MC cartridges on the market.
