| Do I need a sut? @rauliruegas as you very well know (if you are as well informed as you claim) MFA is the hi-fi arm of Stevens & Billington, a long established transformer maker. MFA/S&B wind their own transformers to order. The base model, which the 632 s... | |
| Review Audioquest Hurricane (part 2) I've commented in the Part I discussion of this regarding my own positive experience with the AQ Dragon Hi Current which mirror Bo's with the HurricaneThere is one point of Bo's that I think merits expansion however, especially as it departs from ... | |
| Do I need a sut? If you like where the MC2000 is taking you an SUT that will work and suit your price ($759) is the MFA 632 at a 1:100 ratioScroll down this page for instance of its use with the MC2000iihttp://gpoint-audio.com/our-collection/music-first-audio/ | |
| Do I need a sut? @jdodmead regarding grounding I'd start by connecting the phono ground to the SUT and see how that sounds -- really it's a matter of checking what sounds best (most open and "solid") with least hum -- it may be the SUT, or leaving it unconnected. ... | |
| Grounding blocks, boxes and cables, what are you using? I'm very convinced of the importance of some sort of grounding solution for your system.I current use two Synergistic Research Active Ground Block SE (one for sources, the other for power amps) with SR HD leads and custom Verastarr leads to ground... | |
| Do I need a sut? Everyone needs to keep a gain cascade calculator handy 😉28dB plus 48dB plus 14dB gives 1.58v out for .05mV in which is probably half what most power amps like to see (if we know your amps input sensitivity that would help)another 6dB is ideal to g... | |
| Do I need a sut? The XG-5 is a pretty re-saleable SUT so if the price is right why not give it a try, you can always resell? The 34dB/3 ohm setting would workRemember to budget for a quality pair of interconnects (of low capacitance as Al notes)There's more helpfu... | |
| Do I need a sut? Regarding hum this is an issue endemic to SUTs and the T2000 is limited in the facilities it provides to manage this problem. My preferred SUTs from Music First Audio provide a ground lift option (in the case of some of the models including a part... | |
| Do I need a sut? This is the SUT you should look for - as you can see it offers a high 35dB of additional gain which would give you what you need. https://www.ortofon.com/media/15289/mc-2000-t-2000-transformer-p2.jpegUnfortunately these are rather pricey but a SUT... | |
| Buyer wants copy of passport? I guess I can understand where the buyer might be coming from -- absolute proof that you have the goods. With photo editing software it's pretty easy to mask identifying info in the passport beyond your photo. So if this is the difference between ... | |
| Is my Amp OK? @thyname here you gohttps://systems.audiogon.com/systems?utf8=✓&q=Rotel+rb-1590these are all the systems posted by AudioGon users that have your amps | |
| Synergistic Research Upgrades @zheng4 regarding your question on SR HFTs and other room acoustic treatments -- my room has a full complement of HFTs as well as the ART system and a full set of ASC room treatment including full size bass traps in each corner. The three systems ... | |
| Any of you experiment with optimal VTA for Benz Micro Cartridges Irregardless of whether you have a dealer set up your table for you you really need to know how to align a cartridge yourself. Cartridges age and suspensions sag so VTF and VTA will need to be adjusted as the cartridge ages. In addition if you eve... | |
| Any of you experiment with optimal VTA for Benz Micro Cartridges @prof regarding why low output vs higher in a MC? Well one advantage of a lower output rather than higher is that getting more output entails more coil turns and hence more mass to move. There's lots of discussion on this point in threads such as ... |
