Dynavector XV1-S and step-up
Hi Lewm,y.s.:>>> A transformer, any transformer, has no "natural impedance" per se. Transformers merely reflect impedances from primary to secondary or vice-versa. <<<Sir, yes Sir! B U T, I did explain how 'natural impedance' com... 
Dynavector XV1-S and step-up
Rudolffzigray,10/10 as far as my own experience goes and "another gentleman who pretty much nails it on the head"I actually think that the "issues" arising in getting a proper impedance match has given SUTs a bit of a bad name(not mentioned by the... 
MC LOADING & STEP UP DEVICE
Step 1: Find out the winding ratio of the trannie. e.g. 20dB = 1:10; 26dB = 1:20; 30db = 1:31.6; etc.(there are more on the web, no need to calculate...)Step 2: Find out the 'natural impedance' of the trannie.Ratio^2 * phono-pre input impedancee.g...

Hi Cincy_bobI accept your critique, I guess my words where less then what some lines had called:".... and the patience of a teacher" (What song was that again?)You see in the recent past I'd spend A LOT of time with this issue in numerous threads ... 
Dynavector XV1-S and step-up
Hi Cincy_bob, here we go again... It seems the perpetual misunderstanding when looking into SUTs, that the 'normal' recommended (experienced) best cart loading into a MC phono-pre (non-SUT) is incorrectly considered with SUTs i.e. 100 -150ohm as y...

As the FM man said: ...if someone will bring a good flywheel to me I might put it on use, otherwise it will be as is: with no bass, collapsed soundstage, with no inner-details and a lot of background noise… :-)I do start to understand what it feel...

Herr Tonarm,aber jetzt, ich darf doch wohl bitten! Don't you go and close the door on the next most fun item to play with. In any case since I have been switching and swapping carts quite a bit of late - I dare say there is some BIG, MAYOR,... Wel... 
Entry-level Turntable
Hi Eddiebolooks like another vote for a GOOD MM rather than going budget MC incl. the extra cost of a half decent MC able phono-stage.MMs have become (I think unjustly) considered 2nd rate to MCs. Again, if you are more 'sanely' budget oriented I ...

Thuchan,>>>I am trying visualizing how you exercise in front of your bamboo hut shouldering your arms and protecting against wild animals... Am I wrong?<<<Ah, very well, you have se right sing of wat you see. No, no, you are not ... 
Two quick record cleaning methods - enough?
OK, intelligent-audio-water, that's cool. So what is it D.I. or distilled by Peruvian virgins? :-) A secret I should guess... 
gcph phono stage gain settings
Thanks Tanglewoodand by the way, you'll have to fork out plenty more $$$ before you will better that GCPH. So far only going with a decent tube job could I see some 'affordable' possible improvement. Example is my son's EAR 864P (but second hand o...

gcph phono stage gain settings
Viridianthis box has only 4 settings: 47k, 1k, 500ohm and 100ohm. I guess that should settle it in any case, as there is NO 47ohm. 
gcph phono stage gain settings
Hi,y.s.: >> (it is b-stock) <<What makes it b-stock? I only know the answer to such in the shoe industry and there it'd mean some blemish/mark with the finish. You’d still get 2 soles and 2 laces, upper, insoles etc. :-)So it maybe a s...
