As regards Tony's pending query between MR's TVC and the Promethius TVC, there may be basic similarity in terms of topology and design between the two, but there really is a big difference. While both are transformer-based volume control, one disctinct dissimilarity between the two is that the Prometheus uses a solid 4N copper wire for its transformer wiring which weigh around 12lbs; while MR's TVC, he used a thin hair-like 38 guage copper wire and weighs very light about 3 to 5lbs . Does that make a difference in terms of its sonic quality? Again, without fear of being branded as bias, i should say that MR's TVC got the edge over Prometheus coz i have heard the two gadgets on one occasion. As Diana Krall's song says: let's "Do It Again".

Noli,
MR's TVC cannot be used as an MC step-up transformer. It merely functions as a passive preamp or volume control.
I suggest you try to audition the Compactron which is an active MM/MC tube phonostage.
Tnx!
