Cartridge Loading Kit

When we first began playing with step-up-transformers (SUT), we wanted an easy way to vary the secondary loading. We had a variety of transformers, all of which sounded different with each cartridge, and to get an accurate idea of what each SUT was capable of, we had to be able to change the impedance for each cartridge. It needed to be something that allowed us to make changes without having to run to the solder station in the workshop. A quick rummage through our parts box led to the construction of these ´loading´ cables.

The cables are now a permanent fixture in the listening room, allowing us to easily adjust impedance when playing with cartridges and step-up-transformers. Anyone currently using a SUT with a fixed  loading should try varying the impedance, you may be pleasantly surprised with the results.

The cables allow up to 4 resistors to be added in parallel allowing you to load your cartridge with your desired impedance, and we supply 4 high-quality resistors so you can start testing immediately.
