Phasemation T-320 MC Step-Up Transformer
DESCRIPTION
The T-320 takes the sonic foundation of the well-regarded T-550 and adds a convenience feature owners asked for: a front-panel MM/MC switch, so the same box handles both cartridge types without recabling. A special split-winding structure — low-loss, ultra-thick copper wire wound on a large EI core of 78% permalloy — delivers the wide-bandwidth frequency and phase response Phasemation's step-up transformers are known for, in a smaller, more affordable enclosure than the T-2000/T-600. Winner of the Analog Grand Prix 2022 and repeat Best Buy Components honors from Stereo magazine.
