| 16 ohm speakers: any amp sounds better with more resolution. speaker cables less critical. Ralph, I am not sure what you are saying, because the terms "multimeter" and "DVM" are so often conflated with one another. VTVM is a clear acronym, because you are talking about a vacuum tube voltmeter. But let's take my Fluke 87 meter. It is ... | |
| 16 ohm speakers: any amp sounds better with more resolution. speaker cables less critical. 0.4V = 400mV, not 40mVAnd 0.4V doesn’t make sense as a bias voltage for an amplifier output tube. It’s way too little. Also grid bias should read out as a negative voltage with respect to ground or with respect to cathode voltage. | |
| Need a sut for Hana ml Mulveling, Although it's a fine distinction, his phono stage should add 62db of gain, not 60db, with a 1:10 SUT into the (42db) MM section OR direct into the (62db) MC section, either way. The resulting output would be fed to a linestage before g... | |
| What about Uni Din? Mijo, You assume that at the outermost grooves the increased stylus velocity compensates for tracking angle error. That is actually an interesting question. I am not so sure one can assume that your assumption is correct. They are two different ph... | |
| Need a sut for Hana ml I think at this point we need to hear from the OP.in my opinion, the Hana ML with its 0.4mV output and 7-ohm internal resistance is a typical LOMC. A solution that works for it would work for a wide variety of other LOMCs that produce between 0.25... | |
| Crosley should be arrested for selling junk rather than arresting the people at the Crosley turntable factory, wouldn’t it be more just to arrest persons who buy Crosley turntables and then buy great LPs and subsequently ruin them on their Crosley turntables? | |
| Need a sut for Hana ml Bob and Dover, but didn’t the OP say in his original post (or OP) that he senses less gain via the 1:10 SUT into his MM input (which provides 42db gain per the owners manual on line) than he gets by using the MC inputs of the same preamplifier, wh... | |
| Need a sut for Hana ml Elliott, With all due respect, I sometimes don’t know what you are trying to say. I think you make the SUT business much more complex than it needs to be, but that’s just me. My understanding is or was that the OP found he did not like the SQ he g... | |
| Does Age Matter? Mijo, if you want to take an informal poll for your own amusement, fine. But don’t kid yourself that you are going to arrive at some statistical proof of anything. The vinyl sales data show that purchasers were about evenly distributed among pers... | |
| Need a sut for Hana ml What Dover said . Plus, I gather you are judging the sound of the ML when you play it through the MC section of your preamp with a 100 ohm load compared to the sound going through a step up transformer into the moving magnet section of the very sa... | |
| Need a sut for Hana ml You lost me somewhere. You say the factory recommends a load of greater than 100 ohms. You also say correctly that your 1 to 10 SUT gives you a net impedance of 470 ohms. In other words, the cartridge sees 470 ohms when it looks toward the phono s... | |
| Does Age Matter? As I recall, this thread is not about whether one prefers vinyl or digital, one over the other. Thank God.you can look this stuff up on the Internet. I just did. For those who are interested you might go to a site called statista.com. Anyway, to s... | |
| Does Age Matter? This year I bought LPs for my 37 year old nephew and the 16 year old daughter of my best friend’s son. Both are starting vinyl systems for the first time. So as far as my personal anecdotal experience goes, no. Your generalization does not apply. | |
| Rega Planar 3 : Heavily upgraded yet produces a sound that I don't like MM not MC in this price range.Also, check TT speed. | |
| TUBE BIAS, socket to me! For my own curiosity, I checked out Mapleshade. Yes, they are still in business, but no they don't say anything about restored vintage Fisher gear on their website. I would still call them if you are interested. Pierre Sprey who is one of the p... |
