| Impedance Loading for SS Hyperion As long as you own a soldering iron, nothing is fixed. | |
| Impedance Loading for SS Hyperion Whatever input offers enough phono gain. Both my balanced phono stages offer 47K ohms into high gain RIAA circuits. One came that way. One I modified myself. | |

| Hana Umami Red review Oceanica, Can you respond to my question regarding how you are driving your subwoofer? From the Cayin amplifier or does the subwoof have a built-in amplifier? Thanks. OK. I see now on the Omega website that the suboof has its own 300W amplifier. | |
| Technics 1200G vs VPI Forever Model One Mats are like seasoning on food.Very important but very individualistic. | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine Better to find out before "putting money on it", don't you think? Especially if the answer is known either to Bill Carlin or to SOTA. | |
| Impedance Loading for SS Hyperion Whoever warned you about a “peaked high end” was wrong. 47K is just fine for a low output MI. | |
| Audio Technica AT-ART1000X The OP asks whether the match is "crazy". It's not crazy. The downstream components noted above are good enough to "hear" what the cartridge is doing and maybe stimulate some other upgrades. | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine I do think SOTA would be forthcoming if they have the information. No harm in asking. On the question of whether the magnetic field per se would be a problem you might directly consult Bill Carlin of Phoenix Engineering. He’s a good guy, and he’s ... | |
| Audio Technica AT-ART1000X There are no rules, except to match the tone arm effective mass with the cartridge compliance so that you end up with an acceptable resonant frequency. In this case, I do not think you will have any problem on that score. Otherwise, there are no r... | |
| Technics 1200G vs VPI Forever Model One Nah. Just buy one pad that is superior to the stock pad, and leave it at that. There is anal, which is a given for all audiophiles, and there is really anal. This is really anal. | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine Keep in mind that, at least for the Phoenix Engineering gear, the progenitor of the Eclipse system, the distance between the magnet and the Hall sensor, when the magnet passes over the sensor, is optimally one-eighth of an inch. That’s about 3mm.... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine I am wondering whether the Eclipse system including the Roadrunner speed monitor can be used with the Verdier, because the Roadrunner depends upon a Hall sensor that "reads" a tiny, weak magnet that rides on the underside of the platter. Thus the ... | |
| Hagerman Piccolo Zero: New transimpedance head amp Yes, inductance is typically a part of the spec sheet for any cartridge. Sometimes you do have to hunt for it. But any LOMC with an internal R less than 5-6 ohms will also have a very low inductance, low enough to ignore. Low output MI cartridges ... | |
| Hana Umami Red review Are you powering BOTH the Omega speakers AND the subs from your Cayin amplifier? |
