| Recommendations for a phono amp For the same price as the Pro-ject Phono Box, the Fosi Audio Box X5 gives similar results. But you can adjust the gain! | |
| Phono Box DS3 B output impedance @lewm thanks for these informations! I think I get it now :) | |
| Phono Box DS3 B output impedance Pro-ject answered me that the impedance of the XLR output was of 100 Ohms. So assuming that the impedance of the cable itself is between 75 and 110 Ohms, we should be fine with a 1,66 kOmhs input impedance. Regarding the way we should count the i... | |
| Phono Box DS3 B output impedance @lewm, don't worry about that, I'm grateful for your help so nevermind if it happens to be not 100% exact. Thing is, I'm gathering some informations and will draw conclusions later. I've read that XLR cables have an impedance of 75 Ohms and DMX c... | |
| Phono Box DS3 B output impedance Thanks a lot for those explanations, guys. I'm reaching my limits in terms of understanding resistance and electricity but I will slowly learn and then understand what you're talking about. As far as the sound quality is concerned, it's fine the... | |
| Phono Box DS3 B output impedance @lanx0003, I considered the Skoll indeed but Schiit products are hard to find here in France so I had no opportunity to listen to it first. I was offered a good deal for a demo DS3 B so I went for it as I was very satisfied with sound and flexibil... | |
| Phono Box DS3 B output impedance @lewm I can raise it a bit for 6.7Vrms / 2.46kΩ input impedance but then the dynamic range is less satisfactory. So if output impedance is low enough, I would rather keep the 4,5 Vrms / 1,66 kOhms setting. I'm trying to figure out if the ratio of ... | |
| Phono Box DS3 B output impedance Thanks for your thoughts about that. Yes it's the SS Phono Box (not the Tube Box). I'm using an E1DA Cosmos ADC Iso to rip LPs. A cheap little device made for measurements but many people use it to rip audio. You can set the input range / impeda... | |
| Hegel H120 or H190 Ok guys, thanks everyone for sharing their thoughts, tips & opinions. After some more tests, that will be an H120 for now. Enough power for the room. | |
| Hegel H120 or H190 Thanks everyone for your recommendations! I'm not planning to move anytime soon - so power should be enough with either amps for now. I'm more concerned about the overall sound quality of the two amps, for now given the fact that a future speaker... | |
| Hegel H120 or H190 Thanks! So you would recommend another amp, maybe less powerful but of better design? I'm considering a speaker upgrade indeed but I first need an amp: the previous one failed and the repair is too expansive. So I'm ampless for now :) | |
| Hegel H120 or H190 Thanks for your answer. My preferred source is my CD drive (Cambridge 651C) or my TT (Clearaudio Emotion with Furutech / ADL GT40 Alpha phoo pre-amp). I might use the USB DAC entry but I won't do streaming. I'm afraid that for now, H390 is out o... | |
| Is this a good leveling tool? Thanks for this last tip Viridian. Well, my platter is flat and has been designed to be leveled at any point but I'll keep your advice in mind, just in case :) | |
| Is this a good leveling tool? Right. That makes totally sense to me when you explain things that way. Thank you gentlemen for your accurate and detailed answers. | |
| Is this a good leveling tool? Thanks for your anwser. But what about placing the bubble level in the exact center of the platter? Is it really more accurate? |
