    DBP-11MM/MC Combines above in one box, one side MM, one side MC   189     photo 1   photo 2    photo 3
Note: This allows switching between MM and MC cartridges. However if a step-up device is used, it requires a certain amount of switching cables since a head amp or transformer must be inserted between the box and the preamp when the MC cartridge is selected.
    DBP-12 Stereo Audio Cable, 12 pF per foot. $88 + $5 per foot.
**note* The cable we were using has been discontinued. We have a replacement which is also 12 pF per foot,
however it is separate mono cables, fairly stiff and 5/16" in diameter. It is not available with teflon connectors.
The connectors are Taversoe gold plated.

*Note on DBP-6 kit. The original "Y" adapters were 20 pF and the capacitor values were calculated on that basis. I.e. 200 pF was made up of 20 pF in the Y and 180 in the capacitor. However the current Y adapters are 60 pF so 40pF has to be added to each value. Therefore 100 pF is now 140 pF, 150 is now 190, 200 is now 240, 300 is now 340 and 400 is now 440 pF.  The Y can be used as value itself without a capacitor for 60 pF so actually the range of the kit has been extended.
