We are facing the latest, the nothing else, in step-up transformers for moving coil capsules created by Ortofon in order to satisfy the demands of those fans who prefer to enjoy the sound of their precious moving coil capsules using conventional phono circuitry ( i.e. for moving magnet / MM capsules) instead of its often noisier and more sensitive moving coil counterpart. The ST-80 SE (“Special Edition”) is a sophisticated passive component designed to provide highly detailed sound reproduction that is warm on the one hand and robust on the other. Compared to existing similar designs, the ST-80 SE features a larger, more wound coil, as well as more layers in the permalloy (iron nickel alloy) core. Each transformer is magnetically shielded in a permalloy enclosure which is in turn embedded in a robust 10mm thick aluminum cylinder obtained by precision machining from a solid aluminum block. In combination with the opulent external metal enclosure, the transformers achieve effective isolation from ambient noise, thus improving dynamics. In terms of setup, the Ortofon ST-80 SE uses a pure double mono design that ensures maximum channel spacing. The internal point-to-point cabling is executed with high-purity copper conductors insulated with Teflon, which, added to the use of high-quality RCA connectors, guarantees the maintenance of integrity in the transmission of the most delicate audio signals.
