| Transfiguration Orpheus, what step-up I am a relatively new owner of an Orpheus, circa 100 hours of playtime. I have gravitated to a gain of 64 dB using a Sutherland (battery powered) phonostage (i.e. no step-up), 90 ohms resistive loading, ~1.94 g. VTF. I am still fiddling with VTA, ... | |
| Optimal loading for the Orpheus Great points, Larryi. The VTA/SRA and loading have always presented a vexing challenge since they tend to track/compensate as you indicate. Thus, among the challenges of analog is getting all of the variables (e.g. loading, VTA/SRA, VTF, crosstalk... | |
| Optimal loading for the Orpheus Thanks for the great advice about the variation in theresponse of the bass to loading. I have tended to listen to the highs, e.g. avoiding excessive brightness and edginess with high loadings. I have often started with the 20x - 25x priciple for l... | |
| Optimal loading for the Orpheus "In my rig, there is really no easy way to change loading"For parallel resistors you need not be that good at math:1/R1 + 1/R2 = 1/Rsum1/47000 + 1/1000 = 1/979 | |
| Optimal loading for the Orpheus Rauliruegas (and Goldeneraguy): A brief history of cartridges in my system...I changed from a Benzmicro Ruby 3 (low output) to the Temper V a couple of years ago. This was a great improvement, particularly in realism/ natural tonality and presenta... | |
| Optimal loading for the Orpheus I appreciate the great feedback. I am upgrading from the Temper V to the Orpheus. I use a Sutherland PhD phono stage. To Jtimothya: I tried a variety of loadings for the Temper V using blank configuration boards I got from Ron Sutherland. I settle... |
