Phono Preamplifier Ypsilon Electronics MC-L SE Silver

The Ypsilon MC Series consists of passive moving-coil step-up transformers (SUT) engineered to amplify low-level MC cartridge signals up to moving-magnet (MM) voltage levels with absolute transparency and zero added noise. Constructed around large, proprietary amorphous single C-core double-coil transformers using specialized low-capacitance winding techniques, each model is double-shielded with mu-metal and potted inside a 10 mm thick soft-iron, nickel-coated enclosure for maximum immunity against external stray magnetic fields. Designed alongside the VPS100 phono stage, the series offers four gain and impedance matching tiers when terminated into a standard 47k ohm MM input: MC5 (14 dB gain, 2k ohm load, for 0.8–1.2 mV cartridges), MC10 (20 dB gain, 500 ohm load, for 0.4–0.6 mV cartridges), MC16 (24 dB gain, 200 ohm load, for 0.3–0.4 mV cartridges), and MC20 (26 dB gain, 140 ohm load, for 0.2–0.3 mV cartridges). Parallel RCA inputs allow custom resistive loading.
