| Added an SUT...not sure I understood this @intactaudio Obviously you haven't got a clue so I'll explain it to you - actually here's a quote from JCarr The loading resistor value is placed across the phono cartridge's output terminals, which means that any output voltage produced by th... | |
| Added an SUT...not sure I understood this @intactaudio Then why don't you start your own thread on "loading - voltage vs current mode amplification of moving coil cartridges". Do you understand the difference between voltage and current ? If you start a new thread there are many knowl... | |
| Added an SUT...not sure I understood this @intactaudio Once again, please read my posts more thoroughly - here is what I posted initially What I would suggest is get a pair of 470ohm resistors and try running the OC9 straight into your SP14 loaded at 470ohms. This will give you a dire... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners @ketchup Thats why I still run the aluminium arm tube with heat shrink and internal damping removed - keeps the horizontal mass as low as possible and less smear with the h/s & foam removed. | |
| Tube PHONO preamp interference - RFI, EMI, bad grounding? Is there any test I can do inside the apartment? I invited an electrician and he said the power line should be fine. Beautiful city Prague. If you are in an older building, you should get an electrician to verify the male earth pins in the bu... | |
| Added an SUT...not sure I understood this @intactaudio I know of several people who routinely load MC carts at 3-5X the internal impedance. They do this out of sonic preference Yes - I have seen this phenomenon myself when I was a high end audio distributor in the 80's. Usually it i... | |
| Added an SUT...not sure I understood this @intactaudio He hasn't solved his problem, although he now knows why the SUT did not work ( there was a 100ohm loading resistor already in the SP14 ), I believe the last post I saw was that he still had hum issues. He is not using a current in... | |
| Sourcing a top of the line Jvc mm @nandric It has nothing to do with English as a second language - you continue to misquote me. The case in casu is Dovers statement: '' I have a a mint JVC-X1-mk2- never used it- overrated'' This is what I actually said dover 1,887 posts ... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? I believe that a cartridge and a speaker, by far, contribute the most to SQ. I would dispute this assumption. In my view the TT trumps all. I'd rather have a the best TT I can buy with a $500 cartridge than a top cartridge with less than optim... | |
| Advice for mounting a TT shelf on a wall @4krowme Am I correct in assuming that half way up the wall may be another room node? As I've got older I find the optimum height is high enough so you don't have to bend over when placing records on the platter, and also such that you can lo... | |
| Added an SUT...not sure I understood this @woofhaven1992 The sheet that came with my cart says 20 ohms. I don't believe this. All OC9's are recommended 100ohm minimum. I used to sell them. If it sounds better at 20 ohms, there must be something wrong with your system. Perhaps you co... | |
| Advice for mounting a TT shelf on a wall The main consideration is to put it on a load bearing wall. Absolutely agree. Load bearing walls either have footings to ground directly underneath or concrete pad at ground level underneath. Loading bearing walls do not move with the floor. ... | |
| Added an SUT...not sure I understood this @woofhaven1992 the cart sounds better when I load the tonearm with 22 ohms than when I load it at 20 ohms, which is the spec for this cartridge. NO How many times do I have to post. That is not the spec. The recommended loading for your car... | |
| Tube PHONO preamp interference - RFI, EMI, bad grounding? @filipm Have you tried turning off your cellphone - not flight mode - turned off completely ? | |
| Added an SUT...not sure I understood this @woofhaven1992 Connecting to the 40 ohm tap results in less gain that connecting the cartridge directly to the MM input. On the front panel of the SUT, there is a selector to bypass the transformer, to use the 40-ohm tap, or to use the 3-ohm ta... |
