Modern equivalent to a Marantz DLT-1?

[DSJR]

Hello everyone,

After many years selling decent (?) ready made equipment and a few fallow years loitering on HiFi forums (ahem), I've become interested in building my own equipment, but have to start at the very bottom and wonder whether any of you could help this ignoramous with a hopefully simple project...

Some years ago, Marantz UK imported a handful of the above mentioned line transformer. It increased the gain a little, did a little bit of impedance matching I think and I liked what it did with a variety of sources, especially CD players of the period that seemed to spray loads of ultrasonics and RF into the signal leads. I sold it to someone I can't remember and it seems that it's gone forever...

I now have a need for a matching transformer (PLEASE correct me if I'm barking up the wrong tree) to go with a Quad FM3 tuner I've gently breathed on (supply caps and a few other caps as recommended by someone I trust). The Quad has a highish output impedance and they recommended at least 50K input impedance on the amp to match it.

I know I could buy something like a Musical fidelity X10-D line buffer but don't wish to soften up an already compressed FM sound from a "safe" sounding tuner, which has improved markedly from the "tweaks."

I need something *simple* that can offer a high input impedance to satisfy the Quad, add a little gain to bring it up to modern levels and finally, offer a low output impedance to suit any preamp I connect it to, valve or solid state (many of the latter only have 10K or so as an input impedance)... Do WD do any components that will work?

Please can anyone offer an easy solution? My soldering skills aren't bad, but I'm way out of my comfort zone here and would like to have a go as a "first try."

Thanks in advance...
