| Impedance Loading for SS Hyperion @atmasphere Thanks. I have run the low output through Soundsmith's own phono and changes from say 800 to 1000 ohms with that phono were quite audible. You are saying this is the phono or phono/cable combo. Decca is another story but I have set ... | |
| Impedance Loading for SS Hyperion @atmasphere Any brightness is usually not the fault of the cartridge so loading will not fix it. IOW If loading does fix the brightness, the cartridge wasn't the problem. The phono section is. This is because any LOMC cartridge generates RF... | |
| which turntable or how to convert to balanced phono setup? I just wanted him to understand that with his Teac phono preamp he'd get the same result whether using RCA or XLR connectors. That's guesswork on your part. You said you've never heard it. Why do you post speculative brouhaha about something yo... | |
| Yamaha HX-10000 phonostage, any views? @theophile If you want to sell your friends item at an inflated price then you should place an ad on Audiogon. The forums are not supposed to be used for selling your gear under the table. @lewm I posted conservative values, a couple of them ... | |
| Yamaha HX-10000 phonostage, any views? Yahoo Japan - they come up from time to time - Hifido last sold one for EU$3000 - at auction they can be had for much less than that. | |
| Yamaha HX-10000 phonostage, any views? Pani I know where in Europe you can buy a HX-10000 for 5000 Euro in a private sale. Email me if you would like a link. You can buy them in Japan for 1/2 that. | |
| Phono Stage - The great analog tragedy Leak and Tannoy ( England ) produced excellent moving coil cartridges in the 1950's and 60's | |
| Phono Stage - The great analog tragedy EMT ( Germany ) started their excellent range of MC cartridges in the late 1950's early 60's. | |
| Phono Stage - The great analog tragedy Excel Sound ( OEM ), Sugano ( Koetsu ), Takeda San ( Miyabi ) all started producing excellent MC's in the 1960's. | |
| Phono Stage - The great analog tragedy The way I experienced it in the US on the east coast, the Supex LOMC started the LOMC craze in the early to mid 70s. You obviously didn't run with the Ortofon crowd. Ortofon sold plenty of LOMC's in the US from the late 1940's onwards along wi... | |
| which turntable or how to convert to balanced phono setup? Here we go again. That is mistaken. He doesn’t need an XLR cable at all for balanced operation in his system: cleeds 06-18-2025 at 09:54pm... you can use either the RCA or XLR connectors on the Teac PE 505’s inputs and get the same result. T... | |
| A new way of adjusting anti skate! @elliottbnewcombjr I agree that most folk have anti-skating wrong - mostly too high. Look how many used cartridges have offset cantilevers - usually an indicator of anti-skate being out. However in your methodology ( which I think is wrong ), ... | |
| which turntable or how to convert to balanced phono setup? @audiocanada is it just a matter of finding a din to xlr tone arm cable? The answer to your question is yes. If the tonearm has a 5 pin DIN output all you should need would be a DIN to XLR phono cable. You can ignore all the other piffle ... | |
| Phono Stage - The great analog tragedy Back in the early 60s, 70s and up to the mid 80s, the primary source of music was Phono or Cassette tape A dedicated $10,000 phono stage wasn't even a thing back then. No. This is a myopic view of the world. Example - Final Audio released a d... | |
| Impedance Loading for SS Hyperion @markalarsen You changed my mind. After switching them back and forth on the same song, I settled on 1000 ohms. 47K seemed to have a slight sibilance. That's where I ended up. |
