| Will VPI's Classic 3 sound much better with a SUT? Lewm, The typical phono stage adds an additional 40db to the SUT's 32db gain. So plenty of voltage to drive a line stage. | |
| Will VPI's Classic 3 sound much better with a SUT? Tablejockey: I don't know of any LOMC cartridges that output .5 mv. Anyway, that is still too low to use with a typical phono stage which needs a minimum of 2 mv and a maximum of 5 mv. Maybe you are thinking of a high-output moving coil cartridge ... | |
| Will VPI's Classic 3 sound much better with a SUT? Lewm, SUT's typically amplify the sub-millivolt output of a LOMC cartridge by 10 times. So my Denon 103R's .3 millivolt becomes 3 millivolts from the secondary of the Bellari SUT. Enough to use with most phono stages. My math is correct! I bought... | |
| Would like to try a tube preamp after years of solid state and hybrid I also have a Conrad Johnson PV3 awaiting set up, along with a Dynaco PAS3 modded by DKL Labs. I consider both to be excellent sounding tube preamps! | |
| Would like to try a tube preamp after years of solid state and hybrid Audio Research SP6. I have one that I bought along with a D75 amp. William Johnson claimed that this was the preamp he really wanted to make after his esteemed SP3. The Audio Critic thought the SP6 had possibly the best phono stage of all their re... | |
| What’s your favorite audio show to attend and why? I attended the NYC Audio Shows from 1976 through the 80’s. These were held at mid-town hotels. The last one I went to was at the Waldorf in 1996. Compared to today the best gear was fairly affordable. It was a kinder, gentler time! | |
| Will VPI's Classic 3 sound much better with a SUT? .3 x 1000 = 300! | |
| Will VPI's Classic 3 sound much better with a SUT? Most integrated amps have an active line stage which adds gain. At least the older ones do! I guess the single tube driver for the output stage of the Fosgate adds gain. Otherwise it wouldn't have enough voltage to drive a typical power amp. | |
| Will VPI's Classic 3 sound much better with a SUT? Most mc stages amplify a mc cartridge's voltage TEN times for use with a typical phono stage! So .3 mv becomes 3 mv (.3 x 10 = 3). | |
| Will VPI's Classic 3 sound much better with a SUT? The typical mc stage magnifies a mc cartridge voltage by a factor of 10. So .3 mv becomes 3 mv. Adequate for the typical phono stage, which I assume the Fosgate has. I am sure the Fosgate line stage can output several volts. So plenty of volts to ... | |
| Will VPI's Classic 3 sound much better with a SUT? No need to spend $1750 on a Bob's SUT! I have five SUT's. My Bellari is a favorite! Only $350! It sounds excellent with my Denon 103R! | |
| Will VPI's Classic 3 sound much better with a SUT? lewm: Your math is off! The Fosgate mc stage amplifies the signal about 10X. So .3 mv becomes 3 mv. That is enough for a typical phono stage. You didn't figure in the gain of the Fosgate preamp's line stage. Most line stages can output several vol... | |

| The criteria for loudspeaker choices. The Eminent Technology LFT-8 is an over-looked gem of a speaker! With its push-pull magnet structure it has superior transient response in the vital midrange compared to Magneplanars. Plus the 8-inch driver extends the bass nicely. Well done Bruce... | |
