About the ST80 SE
The Ortofon ST-80 SE is a premium moving coil step-up transformer designed for audiophile-grade turntable systems. It features a dual-mono design with permalloy magnetic shielding and a solid aluminum chassis for noise isolation. Key improvements include a larger bobbin, additional permalloy core layers, and increased coil windings compared to previous models. The transformer uses Teflon-insulated solid-core OFC copper wiring with gold plating and gold-plated RCA connectors for optimal signal integrity. With a substantial 1.5kg weight and 10mm aluminum construction, it maintains stability during operation. Designed for MC cartridges under 10Ω impedance, it delivers 27dB gain at 1kHz with a frequency response of 10Hz-100kHz (±2.5dB).
