Product Outline and Concept

In order to reproduce the delicate and informative music signal of MC cartridge, it must first be boosted to the level as same as MM level. Although there are amplifiers that use electrical circuits as a method of achieving this, But Phasemation's first suggestion is to use a transformer to boost the level. This is because, in addition to ideal impedance matching, it has no power supply, so there is no source of noise, which is a major advantage. The T-550 was the best-selling model in the Phasemation lineup of step-up transformers. The sound of T-550 has been further brushed up and the T-600 has been newly designed for ease of use.

Main feature

• Successor to T-550, but it features improved sound quality performance thanks to the adoption of a new transformer.

  As the core of the T-600, the transformer underwent a thorough review of its manufacturing process. Enhancements such as precise wire tension control during winding have resulted in a transformer with greater expressive power

• Supports both balanced and unbalanced inputs and outputs

  Each input and output is equipped with one balanced (XLR) and one unbalanced (RCA) terminal. To ensure superior sound quality, Neutrik XLR connectors are employed, while the RCA terminals are gold-plated. Unlike the previous T-550, the T-600 now allows selection between balanced and unbalanced inputs.

• Equipped with “PASS” mode that allows use of MM cartridges and high-output level MCs without connection changes

  Previously, the T-550 supported only MC cartridges. With the new LT-600, however, MM cartridges can also be used by connecting them in advance and selecting 'PASS’ on the input selector. In addition, certain high-output MC cartridges that do not require step-up can also be connected in the same way as MM cartridges.

• A chassis structure and layout optimized for transmitting pure musical signals.

  The compact chassis not only houses the transformer, but also incorporates a shield cover to suppress magnetic flux leakage and a floating structure with damping rubber to effectively minimize unwanted vibrations.

• Gold-plated connectors and contact switches are employed to ensure clear and precise playback.

  The circuit length is kept as short as possible, and a rotary switch with gold-plated contacts is employed for BALANCE / UNBALANCE / PASS switching, ensuring pure and fresh sound reproduction.
