Phasemation T-2000 MC Step-Up Transformer

The T-2000 is Phasemation's reference-grade MC step-up transformer, built as two fully independent monaural chassis to eliminate any left/right channel interference entirely. Its balanced input design routes the cartridge's inherently balanced output signal through a proper push-pull path shielded by a grounded earth connection, avoiding the noise susceptibility of a conventional unbalanced hookup. The coil is hand-wound on an ultra-thin super-malloy core with high-purity copper secondary winding, tuned specifically for the impedance range of high-end MC cartridges. Rhodium-plated Furutech terminals and TAOC cast-iron insulator feet complete the build. Winner of the MJ Technology of the Year (2017) and Audio Excellence Special Award (2017).Priced and sold as a matched pair (left/right monaural channels).Key Features: Two fully independent monaural chassis — zero L/R crosstalk Balanced input path for proper push-pull cartridge signal transmission Hand-wound coils on super-malloy core, high-purity copper secondary Rhodium-plated Furutech I/O terminals TAOC cast-iron insulator feet, floating transformer mount MJ Technology of the Year 2017; Audio Excellence Special Award 2017 Specifications: Best-Matched Cartridge Impedance 4Ω (usable range 1.5–40Ω) Load Impedance 47kΩ Step-Up Ratio (Gain) 26dB Frequency Response 10Hz–100kHz (±2dB) Dimensions 214x118x265mm Weight 4.9kg x2 units
