I can't find information on the gain settings of the Whest, but 63 dB on the Trichord's lowest MC setting is way too much for the Delos, in my experience. You don't need more than 56-58 dB for it to sing. 63 dB is overkill. Others might disagree, but from my personal experience, gain matching at the phono preamp stage is absolutely critical.
Whest 3.0RDT vs Trichord Diablo +NCPS
Hi, I have the chance of buying a Whest Audio 3.0RDT (not SE) at more or less same price as a Trichord Diablo w NCPS.
What would you suggest ?
How would you describe the differences between the two models, if any ?
Which one would be a better match, in your opinion, with my cart, a Lyra Delos ?
I own a Project RPM9.1x (9cc tonearm) + Lyra Delos + Electrocompaniet ECP-1
the rest: ARC LS7 + ARC 100.2 + B&W 804s
thanks, ciao
