| Best Phono stage for a .3 mv Ruby 2 ? John, I have a Ruby2 as well. I thought about using a PH-3 but I do believe 54db of gain is too low. I know of one reviewer in Listener who said it was a good match with the Linn Klyde.I had a Klyde for a long time and it's about .25 mV, even lowe... | |
| Tonearm-Preamp Grounding Problems-HELP Casey,Thanks for the advice. It will take me a few days to get this done. I will try and e-mail you through a differnt account. The latest is, my tuner is putting some BIG 500-600kHz RF into my AC line. And if it's plugged in (not on) into the old... | |
| Preamp-Tonearm Grounding Problems? Todd,Thanks for the input. I have checked the two dedicated outlets for proper grounding and they are fine. The Naim gear comes three pronged and I am pretty sure its not floated, plus when I float it there is a difference in noise through the pho... | |

| Preamp-Tonearm Grounding Problems? My equipment list is as follows; Michell Orbe/Graham 2/Ruby 2 attached to a Naim 52 (K) and a Naim 250 amp. Digital sources are a Arcam transport and DAC as well as a Magnum tuner attached to a roof antenna. Phono Cables consist of either Harmonic... | |
| Tonearm Grounding Problems. Thanks for the relpies; I do not think it is a contact issue between my RCA's and the preamp. I say this because I have tied into the preamp using three different inputs all using a different style of connector involving diffenernt phono connects.... | |
| Linn LP12. What tonearm and cartridge? I heard the LP-12 with a Graham and thought it was NOT a good match. The Ekos was a better match and I really knew what they (reviewers) meant when said the Ekos adds "zing" to the presentation. I have heard the ARO and liked it the best. | |

| Ohm Loads for cartridges Bruce,Hey thanks for the explanation and clarification! I can't tell you how long I have been asking, searching for a clearer precise answer to my questions. At least it now makes sense when people talk about resistive loading and seem to say one ... | |
| Tonearm/Cartridge Upgrade Doug,If I was you I would get the JMW-10. I have a Graham but I heard the JMW and I really liked it. If you can get a good price I would go for it. | |
| Ohm Loads for cartridges Brian, I am using a Benz Ruby2. Up until I bought one I had only heard the Benz LO.4. It sounded good so I thought I would try and do better. Hmmm! It has lots of good praise through out the audio bulletin boards. I have a very strong feeling that... | |
| Ohm Loads for cartridges Brian,Thanks for the help. Unfortunatly answering one questions leads to more questions, so it is said. (Especially among people who know more about the biological world than the electronic world.) Maybe you can address this problem as it relates ... | |
| Ohm Loads for cartridges Okay everyone, I have been reading all the words regarding cartridge loading on this msg. board but I am still a bit confused. I keep getting conflicting information from different sources regarding "cartridge loading" so I hope someone can clear ... | |
| Graham or the Frog: which is crucial? I currently own a Graham 2/Ceramic on a Michell Orbe. I have heard the SME 309 on the Oracle IV, briefly though, and I thought it sounded good. I recently heard a Oracle V with a Stogi(?), the more expensive model. It sounded good as well and it's... |
