    For use with sub woofer and other bi-amplified systems: Have your crossover updated with correctly balanced inputs. If this is not possible, a specialized balanced-to-unbalanced sub woofer-optimized line transformer is available from Atma-Sphere and works quite well.

A moving coil step-up transformer option is also available for cartridges of less than 0.1mV. It can be used to reduce noise, even with higher output cartridges, at a slight cost of musicality.
