Anyone Try a Mutech Hayabusa MC Cartridge with a Channel D Lino C Phono Stage


Has anyone tried the above combination and what do you think of the sonic presentation?

@eaneverson The gain depends on the cartridges impedance and output voltage.

I have a Seta L Plus with a similar gain structure as your Lino C and the MSL cartridges sound great. The Ultra Eminent EX has the best signal to noise ratio of them all. The system is dead quiet set at a volume of 95 dB, even with your ear right up against the speaker. Because of the battery power supply these phono stages are almost impossible to overload. The single layer Lyra cartridges are also excellent, but you will hear a slight hiss at high volumes. 

Have you tried using computer RIAA correction? Rob's Pure Vinyl program is a lot of fun. You can raid your friends record collections.

@eaneverson That is the high gain setting. The MSL would be perfect. The more output the cartridge has the better the signal to noise ratio. Message Rob Robertson ( softsupport) at Channel D and ask. 

Hi,

I think you should spend a little more and go for the My Sonic Lab Ultra Eminent EX. It might be an ultimate combination with the Lino C and between the two of them an ultimate value for sure. I have not heard the Hayabusa or looked at it under the microscope, but I have the Ultra Eminent which is handily up there with the best. Give it's 0.6 ohm impedance and rather high output it's signal to noise ratio will be extraordinary giving it the widest dynamic range possible.
