Air Tight SUTs have bypass for MM.
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.
