Offered is „T-500 MC StepUp Transformer“ by Phasemation as second-hand device from the category „Phono Amplifier“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 7017276547 ends on 24.10.2026 at 20:33 o'clock.
This is a strong deal. At €640, it sits well below the €854 25th percentile and far under the €1,544 median for recent comparable listings, so the asking price looks genuinely attractive rather than merely fair.
These phono step-up transformers are valued for low-noise gain, tonal naturalness, and preserving the character of a good MC cartridge without adding active electronics in the path. In good condition at this level, it’s the kind of buy that can be a real system upgrade with little downside, especially if the seller can confirm proper operation and the original box or cables are included.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Phasemation traces its roots to 1970, when Kyodo Denshi Systems was founded in Yokohama, Japan, as a precision electronic measurement instrument company. Initially focused on institutional tools like step-up transformers and DACs in the 1990s, it pivoted to high-end audio under the Phase Tech brand, producing cartridges, CD transports, and tube phonostages. In 2010, the company rebranded as Phasemation to expand globally, leveraging decades of engineering expertise to prioritize phase accuracy for lifelike sound reproduction.
The brand specializes in analog-centric high-end components, renowned for its moving coil phono cartridges and exceptional phonostages, such as the modular six-box EA-2000, the two-box EA-550, and the single-chassis EA-320. Its lineup also includes tube amplifiers, preamplifiers, and step-up transformers, all designed to deliver a balanced sound that blends warmth with hyper-detailed resolution, excelling on jazz, classical, acoustic, and vocal tracks.
Phasemation holds a prestigious niche in the high-end market as one of Japan's fastest-growing hi-fi brands, celebrated for meticulous craftsmanship and expansive soundstaging that evokes live performance emotion. Positioned as a boutique leader for discerning vinyl enthusiasts, it commands worldwide acclaim among audiophiles seeking realism over mere technical prowess.
