The OBH-8 and OBH-9 use
dedicated circuitry to optimise their
performance and cannot be
switched from MM to MC. The
level output from both the OBH-8
and 9 is suitable for most line level
amplifiers and the input sensitivity
and loading is factory-set to suit a
wide range of cartridges.
OBH-8SE
There is now an Audiophile
version of the OBH-8 known as
the Special Edition, which uses
audio grade and closer tolerance
components, with specific circuitry
added to enhance its performance.
The SE gain stage uses a cascoded
low noise J-FET, instead of a sin-
gle bi-polar transistor. This
enables the input to be DC cou-
pled, removing a capacitor from
the signal path. Cascoding
increases the gain, especially at
high frequencies and therefore
improves linearity.
Signal connectors on the SE
are gold plated and the OBH-8SE
is supplied with the up-rated, high
current OBH-2 power supply.
These improvements add up to a
more transparent, dynamic and
revealing sound, totally lacking in
colouration, that will thrill vinyl
enthusiasts.
