Silk Audio Grid Choke - SQ Supermalloy Grid Choke, bare (no potting)
It has a center tap so it can be used for phase splitter in push-pull design. Replacing your grid circuit resistor with SILK Supermalloy Grid Choke is one of the easiest fine-tuning processes you can do by yourself. Our Grid Choke can be characterized as "Super Inductor" since its inductance is more than 4,000 Henry at 20Hz while having very low DCR of just 1.3K ohm. Result is low resistance to DC to bleed to ground (compare typically grid leak at 50k-100k) AND very high impedance to signal so all of the signal is delviered to grid.

Blokker: Must-have module if you have power transformers in your gear. Just connect the red wire in series with the neutral of your mains supply, blue wire to transformer primary side and kill DCv dead. Also removes destructive harmonic content created by other electrical devices loading your power matrix. Most AC supply has some DC offset present. DC is the enemy, robbing a power transformer of efficiency and often making it hum. Blok it, and the transformer can do its job, Sound improvement can be major depending on your line conditions. Small enough to fit in most chassis. 5cm x 5cm x 2.4cm. 3A/240V. Tube not included!

Silk Interstage Transformers are best characterized by:
1.Wide bandwidth due to special winding arrangement for each particular design and impedance
2. Best low frequency response due to its high inductance compare to its competitors (2-3 times lower in THD at 20Hz is typical for SILK interstage)
3. Best high frequency response even when apply direct current up to 2.5 times its competitors allowing the use of low Zp tube with high current requirement
4. Very tight unit to unit, coil to coil tolerance in terms of response curve, inductance, DCR and square wave shape
5. Designed and Developed under real tube circuit to be used
Selected best material and precision wound for best signal transfer and sonic purity. Connections are made via terminal lugs underneath.

SILK Supermalloy MC-step up transformer with Nano Winding Technology:

not all MC-step up transformers are the same! SILK Supermalloy MC-Step up Transformer takes several steps to design and build better transformers. The core material uses the best Supermalloy Nickel/Cobalt alloy core in the world to provide the highest inductance with lowest copper turn to allow extreme Nano Winding Technology that extends the frequency bandwidth with lowest phase shift and highest signal transfer.

Nano Winding Technology is Silk's exclusive technique that starts with super small OFC wires (much smaller than human hair) woven to to extend high frequency by increasing the skin area of conductor (skin effect). The copper wire is also wound perfect lay to help maximize signal coupling.

Silk's design reduces cartridge distortion by providing theoretical loading (true loading) down to 20Hz. Lab testing has proved that although most signal information on LP are consist of mid-high frequency due to RIAA standard, loading theMC-step-up transformer with true loading down to 20Hz helps lower throughout audio band.
The 10x/20x is very versatile.. It can be connected in two ratios. With 1:10X step up, it will have 100 ohm load. With 1:20X step up, it will have 25 ohm load. These two connections can cover 90% of all MC cartridges.
