If I understand correctly that the issue is too much gain via the MC inputs of the Korakotta, then what is saturating is the input stage of whatever is being driven by the Korakotta. There's no problem with the Korakotta except too much gain (for the downstream component) via the current MC settings. The downstream device does not have enough input overload margin to be mated with the Kora... But, like Raul said, free upgrades are always nice.
Running a LOMC in MM setting?
Hi! I bought a Gold Note Ph 10 for my system, what is the following:
VPI Classic 1 TT, Ikeda 9TT LOMC cartridge, Gold Note PH 10 connected with balanced xlr cable to a pair of Dynaudio BM5 mkIII active studio monitors. I am using the Dynaudio`s dedicated volume box, connected directly to the studio monitors.
The problem is the following:
When I am using MC setting in the PH 10, the sound is just terrible. I set up everything accordingly to the cartridge, and it sounds really bad. BUT, I have tried the MM setting, just to check it. It sounds very close to awesome, but I am affraid to damage my cartridge, and I have no idea how this could happen...
In MC mode, it is getting really loud above the 1/4th of the max volume. In MM mode, I am getting way enough volume 5% below 1/2 of the max.
What can it be the problem? I would prefer to use the phono in the correct setting....
Thank you all!
