Making phono resistance plugs
Any ideas about making a pair? Looks simple. Any esoteric suggestions? Need a little over 400 ohm. Any particular brand of resistor, or plug?

The recommended load setting for my Hana Umami Red is >60 ohms. Fortunately my phono allows me to adjust gain and load on the fly (EAT E-Glo S). My phono load settings are, adjust gain and load on the fly (EAT E-Glo S). My phono load settings are, 10R, 30R, 50R, 90R, 100R, 1K, 47K. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>. Give me a schematic, I can figure it out... Series, Parallel or both. AND Stick a pot in there, just for good measure. LOL Greater than 60 ohms. Parallel. My thinking, put a pot before the resistor, and run the other end of the resistor to the neg. Then you can very the choice, between the two values.. IF I'M wrong, then how can that "idea" be implemented? That's MY question, I'm a common ol mechanic. I want to learn too. LOL.. I'm an Old Dog, I can still learn a new trick or two.. I think if it was hooked up to 100 and lPad down to 60. Something like that.. How do you do that? Teach me.. Thanks OP, I know you understand, you SEEM as picky, and nosey as me.. LOL, BIG :-). Tinker fest USA here... Just my nature... So we're clear, all my STUFF is coming out of storage, I know I forgot more than I can remember. I gotta start firing on all 6.. 153624, To young, to old, just right. Military memory.. 36 to OLD, NOW WAY to young. :-) Regards |
Definitely it would not be "magic".
https://www.decware.com/newsite/ZP3.htm Not my words the guy that built it.. Look mid page "Tape option" I'm a tinker, a mechanic, rules? I thought they were meant to be tested, broken, changed.. LOL That's me.. Yea you can add a pot...No problem.. Sound better, different, worse, OH YEA... BUT MAYBE, just what YOU want... The reason I went with one...A POT.. Yup.. See Decware idea.. Why won't it work for vinyl? I'll try it... I'm thinking, who is making mag heads for RtRs, ME...Why not me... Just need to do a little tinkering... Enjoy in any case. Easy is alway good.. I like everything on top or in front.. If I don't want things changed they go inside.. Have fun.. Time to feed the chickens..they're glad they are not turkeys... Yup... Regards |
Oh my, 101 needs to be 102 or 202 ? LOL Look we can get all teckie, I don't think you need too. That information, is just, that information.. I suppose we could add a few dozen pages of "STUFF", BUT he asked how to make a resistance plug.. :-) My buddy makes his out of RCA terminal ends, and slips a little cover over, it.. He is better at than me. I swear he can get a pin drop in the background, if it's on that vinyl.. I heard some crazy stuff. On the fly is the best I would hope for. On the fly if your loaded correctly, can you roll between your preset loads, with the selector. In other words is the selector, either or, but NOT between the given settings? Can you roll to 15, 16,17 or 20, with a pot? or is it pre selected? If you had that ability to bias differently BETWEEN say 40 -60, on the fly.. 42,3,4,5,6,7, get very tiny changes via that pot.. Could be magic.. Sure works that way with Reel to Reel.. AND vinyl too, AY? Regards |
