| Why do most phono preamps lack XLR input even thought cartridges are naturally balanced? @kijanki I'm fine, buzz and hum are gone, the point I was making is that shield although indeed blocks RFI / EMI could create other problems which balanced lines really don't need. | |
| Why do most phono preamps lack XLR input even thought cartridges are naturally balanced? Please read my initial post again, I have described my digital rig not TT connected (yet) I described hum with a shielded balanced cable when unplugged from the pre side, when an unshielded cable was used there was no hum, my understanding is the ... | |
| Why do most phono preamps lack XLR input even thought cartridges are naturally balanced? Just be aware in my case, with balanced interconnects, the hum was present ONLY when unplugging the connector from one side as I described, when both ends were plugged there was no hum. Replacing the interconnects with no shield cables no hum no m... | |
| Why do most phono preamps lack XLR input even thought cartridges are naturally balanced? @kijanki luisma31, If it is not grounded at either end, then capacitance to what? To electrically floating object? honestly I don't know, I'm not an EE, but the effect of the hum is similar to what high capacitance cables will do, and since capa... | |
| Why do most phono preamps lack XLR input even thought cartridges are naturally balanced? @oldears DIN to XLR phono cabl eI thinkg this is what I'm trying to accomplish and this would be "truly balanced" 5 pin DIN from TT to 2x XLR balanced on the pre | |
| Why do most phono preamps lack XLR input even thought cartridges are naturally balanced? @atmasphere I'll try to have not even a ground but direct balanced all the way from TT to pre | |
| Why do most phono preamps lack XLR input even thought cartridges are naturally balanced? @kijanki note my cable is not "grounded" at either end, just looped into itself, hence the crazy capacitance | |
| Why do most phono preamps lack XLR input even thought cartridges are naturally balanced? Based on your two posts Ralph (which I just bookmarked because reading it slow makes a lot of sense) I will be using unshielded twisted pair CAT6 on my phono interconnects, not any other audiophile expensive cable, not even Mogami and will see how... | |
| Why do most phono preamps lack XLR input even thought cartridges are naturally balanced? Forgot this, I understand with turntable to pre interconnect a shield is recommended if single ended or single ended to balanced adapter cable, I am in the process of setting up this, I guess I will find out. Ideally I would like to go straight fr... | |
| Why do most phono preamps lack XLR input even thought cartridges are naturally balanced? Good you mentioned no advantages with the shield Ralph, I was about to send this in the morning before you even answered in the thread and I think this although been mentioned before it is largely overlooked.I had 1st a Hifi digital system and the... | |
| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes MA1s? @low | |
| Pioneer Direct Drives - Now and then? Erik like others I'm just surprised you are going into analog considering some deep (and good posts) you have about digital and audio in general. Good call I think, on the same path myself, already waiting for TT, cartridge and vinyl to see if it ... | |
| Technics SL-1210GAE Anniversary NOOB here BTW | |
| Technics SL-1210GAE Anniversary There was a used 1200g for $3400 today which should be close to the GAE, get a Hana ML and you could be close or better | |
| Technics SL-1210GAE Anniversary The JT-1210 won't be available to US dealers, only to US dealers (based on the PR), honestly I don't know if the cartridge is worth the $800 usd or so difference and if nagaoka won't release it later under different model number |
