Ortofon ST-70 Transformer

The Ortofon ST-70 reserved for the discerning audiophiles and music lovers. The ST-70 combines the fine components along with world-class engineering, for unparalleled sound reproduction.

Starting with high quality Lundahl™ transformers, surrounded by a specialized mu-metal shielding, listeners can be assured that every detail in a complex array of notes is reproduced with utter purity, with freedom from internal and external sources of interference. These two items combined make the ST-70 transformer one of the quietest, most revealing transformers.

Featuring dual mono design, the ST-70 provides discrete circuitry for each channel, resulting in the elimination of crosstalk and possible distortions.  This results in cleaner, clearer reproduction with substantially increased stereo imaging.  Regardless of the composition being played, the ST-70 expansive stereo separation provides lifelike realism, and accurate tonal balance devoid of coloration.

    Terminal connections

    To further minimize signal degradation and maximize signal flow, the ST-70 has been engineered using high quality industrial grade PCB.  Additionally, gold plated RCA jacks with Teflon insulation provide optimal conductivity for use with high quality interconnects. Internally, the unit is assembled with an absolute bare minimum of internal wiring, preserving absolute signal integrity.

    The ST-70 applications

    The ST-70 maintains compatibility with most Moving Coil cartridges by using internal jumpers to select between two gain/impedance options. This affords audiophiles with broad flexibility while still maintaining a clean aesthetic.
    The ST-70 transformer is a perfect partner for the Cadenza Series.

    Why use a transformer? Since the output of MC cartridges is low, higher gain is required to utilize it, such as that provided by Step-up moving coil transformers or MC phono preamplifiers. Although both devices provide this requirement, both are fundamentally different in function and in sonic character. This is where Step-up moving coil transformers are frequently seen as superior; they are completely passive and offer exceptional noise performance and sound quality.

    Great product!
    Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50 Spray
    Consumer Reports gives this sunscreen one of their highest ratings and that was good enough for me. Goes on nicely.

    Perfect for sensitive skin
    Style: SPF 50 Lotion, Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
    I love this sunscreen. This was my first time buying after always using another company but recently my skin has started breaking out after using my old sunscreen. This sunscreen not only protects my skin but also does not give me a rash or irritate my skin.

    This stuff WORKS.
    Style: SPF 50 Lotion, Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
    I am pale, I have rosacea, and I live in the south. That is a terrible combination. But this sunscreen has saved my butt (well, actually it’s saved my face). It doesn’t sting at, and when I accidentally got it into my mouth it didn’t leave a weird aftertaste (I smear it over my lips). This is my first mineral sunscreen, so I can only compare it to chemical sunscreens. But so far I think it lasts longer (and holds up to sweat better) than any other sunscreen I’ve used. It even survived a day at the water park with minimal reapplication. Now I will be honest, it leaves a white cast. But I don’t even bother trying to rub it all the way in. I just go out looking like Casper the Friendly Ghost. (Also it scored well on consumer reports, but the baby version scored even better, so I think I’ll try that next)

    Good coverage, no scent but very white on skin.
