| Would increasing the gain in the amp give more weight to the sound? Any negatives? I think it comes down to the fact that passive preamp is no way to go if you want full-bodied sound,You countered that argument by your saying the cassette is fine. I would also hazard a guess that your PH1 will have a better stronger output sta... | |
| Would increasing the gain in the amp give more weight to the sound? Any negatives? This say to me that the PH1 maybe capacitor coupled and could be rolling of the bass into the 10k of the Redgum but not the 50k of the Nakka.If so this is an easy fix, just make the output coupling cap of the PH1 4 x larger. eg: If 1uf make it 4uf... | |
| Would increasing the gain in the amp give more weight to the sound? Any negatives? The deck maybe 47k and loading the phono stage differently to the 10k of the Redgum.Cheers George | |
| Would increasing the gain in the amp give more weight to the sound? Any negatives? I don't think he has an impedance mismatch, as the phono is solid state, unless they did something really stupid to make it high impedance output like some tube ones are.I think it may be a case of the tonal balance of the cartridge or what the lo... | |
| Would increasing the gain in the amp give more weight to the sound? Any negatives? He has up to 8v! available from the Ph-1 phono stage and if it’s a low impedance output (<500ohms), there is no "signal strength" problem. As most amps only need .5-1v in for full output into clipping, so why add even more gain with additional ... | |
| Would increasing the gain in the amp give more weight to the sound? Any negatives? Inna, have you tried the two different cartridge loading options, as I remember back to the Supex SD900 days it preferred 10ohm loading to 100ohms as the 100ohms made it sound a bit too rounded. You have plenty of output with the PH1 as it can giv... | |
| Would increasing the gain in the amp give more weight to the sound? Any negatives? Hi inna, Your Redgum is a very low 10kohm input impedance, which could trouble some sources that have high’ish output impedances (eg >1kohm) this could be your problem if you phono stage is >1kohm. I can’t find what the output impedance is o... | |
| Would increasing the gain in the amp give more weight to the sound? Any negatives? Would increasing the gain in the amp give more weight to the sound? Any negatives? I have an integrated amp with passive preamp section and I feel that the sound is not full-bodied enough. The separate phono stage has 42db of gain and I use MM car... | |
| New Bel Canto REF600M using NCORE rampage60I would stick with the XA160.5's as the ML's like all of them go down to 1ohm in the HF and this is where Class D has real problems.Cheers George | |
| Need Help From The Resident Experts My problem:My preamp puts out 30db of gain and the output impedance is 1.2K ohms. My power amp input impedance is 22K ohms. I can only use 1/4th of the volume controls (9 o'clock) and it is too loud after that point. What would be the ideal out... | |
| DSD vs. PCM vs. MQA - Group listening experiment From "Real HD Audio" "DXD is the recommended recording format “when setting up systems for the absolute highest sound quality”. It turns out that DSD AD conversion is just not up to the task because of the lack of tools and the high noise levels t... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Hi simao, yes you can.Seeing the LSA Statement Intergrated has a "main in" this is the input you would use to put the Lightspeed's output into. What you are doing is bypassing all the Statement’s preamp section and using it just as a poweramp.Then... | |

| Will changing gain affect frequency response? Claims are a bit out there.How can a tube buffer with 1000ohms output impedance, be a better impedance match than a 100ohms or even less output impedance source with it's own VC, into say the low 10kohm load of one of the Pass Labs poweramps? And... |
