| 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. | |
| 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? | |
| 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" | |
| Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp Your target for mechanical resonance is between 7-12Hz. The mechanical resonance is a product of the mass of the cartridge in the arm vs the compliance of the cantilever of the cartridge. Changing the load from 47K to 100 Ohms can easily get you ... | |
| Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp @rauliruegas Please calm down, PLEASE! This is a discussion forum, everyone is entitle to share their opinion and knowledge. If you disagree with somebody's responses, you're entitled to counter response! Why not be a gentleman and stop name c... | |
| Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp What the load resistor does is three things: it detunes the resonant peak I mentioned earlier, thus eliminating the RFI and it causes the cantilever to be stiffer, possibly reducing the ability to trace high frequencies and certainly affecting th... | |
| BAT Preamp Output Design Changes - Why? BAT preamp output coupled with capacitor design always suffered low frequency roll-off if driving low impedance load. I think this is the main reason they moved back to using output transformer, so their preamp can be compatible with more power am... | |
