I definitely need to compare my Automatic Impedance Load phono tage to some other phono stages with Manual Load options if i can invite someone with such stage to my house to check this out (and drink some wine).

May 25, 2015	Koetsu Jade v SPU classic v FR 7 fz cartidges Halcro, do you mean those fake Orsonic headshells from Juki? How can you say which one is fake or not ?

May 24, 2015	Phono stage w/automatic Load-Impedanance. The Phonata works very well between 25 - 100 ohm cartridges. Only very low impedance cartridges like classic SPU or modern ZYX sounds better with sut or pre-pre (headamp). Manufacturer recommend the MM input with an step-up transformer for the ver...
