| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine I have a SUT, 20cm, and a tube phono stage, 40 cm, behind the PV. This set up induces hum. However, I have always manage to reduce or eliminate it. I have copper wires connected to the grounding posts of the SUT, tube phono, and a second SS phono.... | |
| Voltage mode vs current mode phono stages https://www.stereophile.com/content/channel-d-lino-c-33-phono-preamplifier Michael Fremer"s latest review of the Channel D Lino C 3.3 | |
| Voltage mode vs current mode phono stages @clearthinker If the Grail was ‘under-exposed’, it certainly has caught my attention with the discussion here. What are some of the higher internal impedance LOMC you have tried? Presumably it was the Boulder 1008 that you made the compare to? | |
| Voltage mode vs current mode phono stages @atmasphere Of course, Ralph, you are right. A built-in phono, well chosen, is also a simplicity. I come from that tradition: Audible Illusions, CAT, MFA Luminescence. My current situation of line + phono stage is really to explore the possibiliti... | |
| Voltage mode vs current mode phono stages @dover Are you referring to Van Den Hul The Grail MC stage in current mode? I think the base model sells in the eight thousand level. If so, you have answered the OP’s original query as to which mode is superior. Although I have a suspicion that a... | |
| Voltage mode vs current mode phono stages @lewm I did not mean to confuse or sound noncommittal in my compare. Both are capable units, equally enjoyable. With the voltage combo on the first needle drop there was a definite sit up n’ listen - ‘wow’ moment. With the Lino C, it just sounded ... | |
| Voltage mode vs current mode phono stages I have two cartridges, Audio Tekne, 0.1mv, 2 ohms and ZYX Ultimate Omega, .23 mV, 4 ohms. Both are considered LOMC. I started with a current mode phono, Channel D Lino C 2.2. And then added a Sunvalley EQ-1616d tube phono paired with a Audio Tekne... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @thekong and @pindac The fact that you gentlemen responded to the SP10's in divergent ways points is very interesting: in the end to are affected by sound in very different ways. However, I am wondering if there is a DD in general, or SP10 in par... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @phantom_av Your description of the SP10R is much appropriated, a world class table that is ‘ plug and play’, not the tweaking Verdier. Fortunately for me, I am a boring person with really only one expensive hobby, so no other endeavors require fu... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @phantom_av May I ask the reason for keeping the Verdier and selling the SP10R? The SP10R should have no problem keeping speed. | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @phantom_av Yes, due diligence is important. Do keep us posted on the motor front. | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine I am using a Micro CU 180 on the Verdier, obviously no issues at all. | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @phantom_av Would you list the brands of the motor / controller? I would be interested. Thanks! BTW, I saw your ad for the SP10R. I especially like the acoustand derilium plinth. It is beautiful! | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @richardkrebs Thanks, Ricahrd for your insight, torque spec. ..etc. My exploits will most definitely not scale the heights of K3 territory. But from your description of the motor / controller search, it was truly a project from the gound up. @... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @thekong I preface by saying I am really quite lost AC vs DC. However, in the case of SOTA Eclipse the Condor motor control is driving a 3 phase DC motor ( ? ). And the Longdog audio LDA is designed to drive an AC motor (? ). According to Nick, t... |
