| Phono pre amp @lewmspecs The specs are hand written inside the box the cartridge came in, and the handwriting is poor. I think the output is .65mV. I think the MC resistance is 9 ohms +/- 10%. The load imp is 20 ohms to 47 kohms. There are 5 inputs MC/MM and 8 ... | |
| Phono pre amp About 2 weeks ago I posted this question about upgrading the phono stage of my Yamaha AS2100. You guys gave me a lot of ideas, so I did my homework and chose a barely used Musical Fidelity Nu Vista Vinyl. I'm using the XLR output to my Yamaha. I'v... | |
| Phono pre amp Thanks all for your suggestions. I never really knew how important a good phono preamp was. I thought my Yamaha had it covered. I'll use all the info to make a wise choice. | |
| Phono pre amp @lewm Yes the specs are hand written in the box., not the easiest to read.Output is .65mVI'm not seeing compliance, but the Eff Arm mass is 14 grams. | |
| Phono pre amp @chakster Thanks I will look into it. I appreciate the input. | |
| Phono pre amp @verdantaudioI I do need to stay with black, as all of my gear including the TT is black. Thanks for the info, I will look into some of these suggestions. | |

| Opportunity I'm sure the Magico A3 would be great, 12K that's pricey. I'm sure a big upgrade. | |
| Opportunity I didn't mention that I was offered these B&W speakers by a friend who owns an AV business that does everything from theaters to home automation. One of his deals fell through and he has these sitting in his warehouse. I can only choose from t... | |
| VPI Classic Setup By Brian Walsh I just had VPI set up my new Prime with a VDH cartridge. I didn't want to do it, it sounds good to me. Is this something I should consider? | |
| Advice on best mid priced MM cartridge choice for Rega P3 (2016) I went from Grado Red to Ortofon Bronze, best $500 I've spent on audio so far. | |
| Springs under turntable I bought those springs months ago. I put them under my TT and did not hear any significant difference. I did notice my TT became a little unstable and would skip if I accidentally bumped into my cabinet. Since I owned them at this point, I experim... | |
