Overview
In the fully-balanced input stage, we fitted a Lundahl step up transformer with an amorphous core, type LL1932. The unit’s gain is 45db, plus the voltage gain of the step-up transformer. E-Glo’s amplifier section uses split, fully passive equalization, without any equalisation in global negative feedback loop, which can harm the sound. At this level of performance, only the best components will suffice. The choice of output capacitor is the highly-praised Mundorf. All other capacitors are WIMA. Mundorf Connectors with Teflon insulation have been chosen for their unparalleled integrity. To ensure the utmost flexibility, to ensure perfect matching to a wide range of cartridges, the E-Glo provides capacitance loading for moving-magnet types in six user-switchable steps from 47pf to 900pF. ‘The loading resistance for moving-coil cartridges is continuously adjustable,’ says Lichtenegger, ‘as we already have on our Phono Box RS.’
