| Yamaha M 5000 How would you describe its sound in less than three words? 😞 Nothing special. | |
| HK Citation Amp 12 ..Another question about DC I am buying a HK Citation 12 amp...I read an HK article which stated that the unit does have speaker protection but does NOT have DC Fault Protection. Should I put inline fuses to protect my speakers ?... Fuse cannot provide DC fault protectio... | |
| Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp And did you choose 100 ohms, 47 kph, or something in between? @holmz Sorry for the late reply, finally get the tax return filed! 😌 For the Denon DL-103, I chose 1kΩ, because I don’t want to use a too low resistive load to load down the cartr... | |
| Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp @holmz I always prefer phono stage featured user select-able loading option, so the user can choose their preference. | |
| Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp Although theoretically loading will affect the compliance of the cartridge, and 100Ω loading made the cartridge work 470 times harder than 47kΩ loading. But since the coil resistance is much lower than the loading resistance, I think the effect on... | |
| Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp @rauliruegas Sorry for the late reply, I’ve been busy with my accountant try to file tax return by next Monday. I did the Hi-Fi News resonance test on a Denon DL-103 and set the loading at 100Ω and 47kΩ, seems like both loadings unsusceptible t... | |
| Cartridge Loading.....Part II @600ohms Care to elaborate? Thanks | |
| Does a graphic equalizer show where your amp is lacking? I recently purchased a Schiits Loki equalizer and was surprised at the amount of added detail it provided to the music most noticeable in the higher frequencies... Could be your ears! Some 60+ year old can't hear frequency higher than 10kHz. Â | |
| Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp @rauliruegas Thanks for your test LP recommendations, I will look it up. BTW, I already have Hi-Fi News Test LP- The Producer's Cut and The Ultimate Analog Test LP by Analog Productions. | |
| Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp Perhaps I'd have a different result with a different phono cartridge. We have a loading strip on our preamps too, and I advise customers with LOMC cartridges to not use it. But if you have a higher output cartridge, the loading strip can be qu... | |
| Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp I use an ARC Ref Phono 2SE balanced into a Ref 5SE. With an MC cartridge, the difference between 47K and 100 ohm loading is virtually undetectable and may even be zero. (You can use the Ref Phono remote to change loading from your listening chair... | |
| Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp The obvious difference between the Zestos and PS Audio as loading changes is clear as a bell. @fundsgon It only confirmed the Zestos is sensitive to RFI and PS Audio stellar is not. Can you do a cartridge/arm resonance test for 100Ω and 47kΩ... | |
| Why do folks spend more on electronics than on speakers? I totally agree speaker comes first, but if you in love with a pair of power hungry speakers, you need to pay a premium for amplification. Thiel speakers is an example. | |
| Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp @rauliruegas Perform a simple test with Hi-Fi News test record will give us the answer, do you agree? Â | |
| Connecting Amp to speakers What are the five ways that speaker wire can be connected to such posts? Bare wire Banana plug spade lug the wrong way Alligator Clip is "the wrong way" |
