{"product_id":"bobs-devices-sky-20-moving-coil-mc-step-up-transformer","title":"Bob's Devices Sky 20 Moving Coil (MC) Step Up Transformer","description":"Featuring custom CineMag transformers with 80% nickel laminations, selectable 1:10 (+20 dB) and 1:20 (+26 dB) gain ratios, point-to-point hand wiring, gold-plated hardware, and dual High\/Low gain and Ground\/Lift toggle switches. The Bob’s Devices Sky 20 Moving Coil Step-Up Transformer elevates low-output MC cartridges to standard MM phono levels without active noise. Housed in a shielded cast-aluminum enclosure, its ultra-low inductance windings expand bandwidth and dynamic punch while preserving delicate micro-details.\n\nReviewers consistently praise the Sky 20 for its dead-quiet, black background and lifelike presentation. Critics highlight its ability to reveal hidden micro-details, crisp note attacks, and natural decay without harshness. Users report that vocals gain immediate texture and warmth, bass becomes noticeably punchier and more focused, and the versatile switches easily resolve ground loops across diverse cartridge setups.\n\nUnlocking the full potential of a low-output moving coil cartridge requires a clean signal path that active preamps struggle to match. Integrating the Sky 20 into your system delivers effortless dynamics, an airy soundstage, and uncanny realism, making it the definitive upgrade for taking your analog listening experience to its highest expression.","brand":"Bob's Devices","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67724469076249,"sku":"98955","price":849.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/4225\/1545\/files\/98955-3.jpg?v=1791582138","url":"https:\/\/tmraudio.com\/products\/bobs-devices-sky-20-moving-coil-mc-step-up-transformer","provider":"The Music Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
