Need some help with setting up a Lyro Delos
Yesterday I got a Lyro Delos cartridge. After mounting it and setting it up I connected to a setup transformer set at 10X and got ready to be amazed. Well didn't go as well as expected. The transformer seems to be giving it to much gain and I am getting the same noise you hear when the volume is at 100% and music is not playing. My pre-amp has a built-in tube MM phono stage that I connected the transformer. I also have a Project II SE box to "play with" but that to is giving me the same problem .Maybe I am not setting it to the right level, this one is connected to "AUX". These are the specs for the cartridge, any help would be greatly appreciated.
# Builder : Yoshinori Mishima (final build, testing), Akiko Ishiyama (primary build)
# Type : Medium weight, medium compliance, low-impedance moving coil cartridge
# Frequency range : 10Hz - 50kHz
# Channel separation : 30dB or better at 1kHz
# Cantilever system : Solid boron rod with Namiki microridge line-contact stylu (2.5um x 75um) and one-point suspension, directly mounted to cartridge body
# Coil : 6N high-purity copper, 8.2ohms internal impedance, 9.5uH inductance
# Output voltage : 0.6mV@5cm/sec. (CBS test record, other test records may alter results)
# Compliance : Approx. 12 x 10 cm/dyne at 100Hz
# Vertical tracking angle : 20 degrees
# Cartridge body : One-piece machining from solid aluminum billet
# Recommended tracking force : 1.7g - 1.8g (1.75g preferred)
# Recommended load directly into MC phono input : 91ohms - 47kohm (determine by listening, or follow detailed guidelines above)
# Recommended load via step-up transformer : 5 - 15ohm (step-up transformer's output must be connected to 47kohm MM-level RIAA input)
# Recommended tonearm : High-quality pivoted or linear (tangential) tone arm with rigid bearing(s), adjustable anti-skating force, preferably VTA adjustment
