SV100843~0.JPGLundahl transformer step-up project for MM cartridge.6818 viewsI recently upgraded my Raga Planar 3 with a Grado wood bodied Platinum reference cartridge. But output was low from the Pro-Ject SE phono preamp. LL1550 trannies supplied by K & K Audio and printed circuit boards allowed me to build a step-up kit in the wooden box the Grado cartridge came in. Compact and beautiful!

Finish.JPGTandy Optimus 77 Upgrade13547 viewsThese Tandy Optimus 77, though many years old, had never been used. They were in as new condition but the woofer surround had rotted. I replaced the 5†woofer with an inexpensive 4†driver. I made clamps to hold it in place and heavy foam to ensure a good seal. The Xover 4.7uf cap was replaced with a quality cap and additional dampening added. They good but not stunning.Dec 01, 2007
