Got a low output moving coil cartridge of unknown origin -see attached - looking for a step up transformer - Ortofon T20 , Sony, Denon, Fidelity Research out of your closet (i.e. cheap).. pre turkey day $$$ - or ???
also if you can identify the cartridge my eternal gratitude - which depending on your sense of karma may be worth nothing or more( Zen)

Hi,

I still have a set of original Otofon step up transformers.

I've used these for ~3 years with the VdH Grasshopper with very good results.

If you are interested, pls send a PM.

Is that a one-piece aluminum body?

CineMag 3440's are very good trans for the money. Buy them direct from the manufacturer.

yes -thanks-still prefer a finished unit but if no response will look a this option -yes it is appears to be machined from a single piece of naked aluminum just thought I 'd use that modifier to see how many extra reads it gets.
