Welcome
to Bob's
Devices
Custom step-up
transformers (SUT) for moving coil (MC) cartridges.
Each
SUT is hand-made, one at a time, using point to
point wiring and individually tested.
No
circuit boards used.
BREAKING
NEWS! The End of the
Blues
We have
just been informed that because David Geren has left CineMag the Models
1131
and 3440AH (yes, the BLUE Logo) will no longer be produced. This
is extremely
unfortunate as we believe these to be the best sounding step up
transformers available
today. Used with the right phono cartridge, like The Miyajima Lab's
range of
cross coil phono cartridges, the sound was nothing short of startling
with the
Bob’s Devices 1131, with perfect synergy at all frequencies. Many
other great
cartridges also benefited from this amazing design, including many from
Koetsu,
Lyra, Benz, Shelter, Denon and Ortofon, to name a few.
Lucky for a
few audiophiles who heard the underground rumblings in the last few
months,
they already own either the stereo or mono Bob’s Devices Step Up
Devices,
produced using these extraordinary CineMag 1131 transformers.
Just
before
the design team change at CineMag we were able to obtain all the
remaining BLUE transformers, but it is a very small supply. When the
Blues are
gone – they are gone. With expected major audio reviews on the
horizon, we will
not have the Blues much longer.
Bob’s
Devices regrets that it cannot offer the CineMag transformers as a
standard
product for sale much longer. There are a few left
that are currently built and tested. They will be taken off the
website when the last one is sold. However, on a
one by one request basis to either our direct customers, or through our
dealers,
we will custom make either Stereo or Mono step ups (or even mono block
stereo
versions) using the remaining transformers, until the stock runs out.
Since David Geren is no longer with CineMag, Bob does not feel
comfortable with purchasing any new transformers from CineMag.
David
Geren, CineMag’s designer who worked with Bob to create the BLUE
line, is
starting his own company called AudioTran. Bob is currently
working with
him to create a new line of transformers.
Not to
belabor the point, but the best modern made SUT is no longer available.
Get
yours while you can. As they say "once they are gone, they are gone!"
As reviewed in these links
Email
your
moving coil cartridge and phono preamp make/model and I will provide
you, with no obligation, information on what would be the proper
step-up for your system. If you are interested in a custom
step
up transformer (SUT), I will provide you with a quote for doing so.
