My Sonic Lab | Vinyl Sound Buffalo, NY USA

My Sonic Lab is one of the most revered names in high-end analog audio, celebrated for its groundbreaking approach to moving-coil cartridge design and its pursuit of ultimate musical fidelity. Founded by master cartridge designer Mr. Yoshio Matsudaira, My Sonic Lab specializes in ultra-low-impedance MC cartridges that achieve extraordinary signal purity, explosive dynamics, and unparalleled resolution.

At the heart of every My Sonic Lab cartridge is the proprietary SH-μX (Super High μX) core material, which delivers extremely high magnetic permeability with minimal coil resistance. This innovative design allows the cartridges to generate a powerful output signal with reduced distortion, wider frequency extension, and astonishing transparency setting a new standard for reference-grade analog playback.

The lineup includes legendary models such as:

Eminent EX – Known for its rich tonal balance, expansive soundstage, and precise imaging.

Hyper Eminent EX – Offering heightened resolution and micro-detail while maintaining natural musicality.

Ultra Eminent EX – Designed for maximum dynamic expression, clarity, and lifelike realism.

Signature Gold & Signature Platinum – Flagship models delivering world-class refinement, breathtaking transparency, and uncompromising performance for reference systems.

Eminent Solo Mono – A dedicated mono cartridge offering unmatched purity and coherence for true mono vinyl enthusiasts.

My Sonic Lab also produces precision analog accessories such as the Stage 1030 Step-Up Transformer and the SH-1RH Headshell, engineered to perfectly complement their cartridges and preserve the integrity of the analog signal.

Each component is meticulously handcrafted in Japan, ensuring exceptional quality, remarkable consistency, and a musical presentation that captures the full emotion of every recording.

Step-up transformer with exclusive Hi-μ core for ultra-low impedance moving coil cartridges. Low-impedance moving coil cartridges use smaller windings and have less moving mass for great detail and speed. However, the low output means that they need a lot of gain, which can add noise and grain. The step-up transformer (SUT) solves this, but needs to be of extremly high quality.
