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.
