Take a look at the jensen transformers, tavish design uses them in their Adagio phono amp. And just to add, my hana el likes 400 ohms or better, 100 ohms sounded dull to my ears....
Which SUT? .... for .3mv/10 ohms MC cartridge into 3mv MM input sensitivity
Please help me choose a SUT for my 1st MC cartridge.
Now I have more than enough volume using my existing MM cartridges thru my mx110z MM Phono input which says sensitivity 3mv/47k ohms impedance.
AT440ml is 3mv.
Shure 97xe is 4mv
Shure V15VxMR is 5mv
Grado ME+ Mono is 5mv.
coming tomorrow: AT33PTG/2 MC .3mv/10 ohm coil impedance/dc resistance
..................
signal boost, am I getting it right?
1. Is 3mv a MINIMUM strength for the mx110z input?
2. .3mv x 10 = 3mv (+20db correct?) (minimum boost therefore x10/+20db)?
3, if correct, is .3 x 20 = 6mv equiv to +40db?
4. if so, a SUT providing +40db is more than enough for the .3mv and any likely future MC?
.........................
impedance/loading: I am not getting it.
I read about a general rule: coil impedance x 10 for ____?
A33PTG/2: 10 ohm coil x 10 = 100 ohm
too high impedance sounds thin? bright?
too low impedance sounds dull?
(how?) (minimum?) (where?)
......................................................
Thanks as always, and this time I will definitely wait for advice before getting anything. I am not in a hurry for this, Bill will loan me one of his SUT’s until I get my own.
