| MC loading at 47K I use Lyra Titan as well but much better of with 100Ohms. | |
| Which speakers to get for a Very Large Room. Looks like used 9b would do the trick. They spec to 140db SPL. | |
| Which speakers to get for a Very Large Room. It's 20t. 9B is actually quite long time on the market and it's still their largest speaker. | |
| MC loading at 47K Hifihvn,It has 47K for both MC and MM. Not too many low output MC carts will benefit from being loaded @47k. I would connect a resistor in-parallel when switching to MC. It could be done in any phono unit. | |
| MC loading at 47K The impedance of Benz Glider SH is more than 10x higher than Kontrapunkt A. If you try to load with 1.5k you might like it better. | |
| My TT "wish list" Oracle Alexandria would also meet your criteria. It's a suspension table but very worthy performancewise. | |
| Any benefit from" same brand" amp/pre-amp?? Bass is limited by transformer and any of the indirect coupling of the output stages. It's less-likely limited by class of operation. | |
| Which speakers to get for a Very Large Room. I like Aerial line and 9B or their newest 12t would certainly come onto consideration. | |
| MC loading at 47K you might experience very thin sound and lack of holography.the realistic load impedance to try is sub- 100Ohms. You can solder 100Ohms resistor in-parallel with 47K resistor or try different resistors using aligator clips. | |
| Bi-Amp Mash Up SS on Bass and Tubes on top? There are amps with variable gain mostly sold on pro audio markets so you can adjust the gain(in some cases sensitivity as well) of the amp in order to match parameters of the trebble amp. | |
| Bi-Amp Mash Up SS on Bass and Tubes on top? you'll just double the power. more is almost always better. | |
| Help Diagnose Tube Preamp Problem I don't think it's preamp. I think it's amplifiers. Tapping tubes isn't a good idea at all. | |
| Bi-Amp Mash Up SS on Bass and Tubes on top? ...only for small volume control ranges with large sacrifice to the dynamic headroom... The situation is really as follows: Let's say you'll pick up trebble amp with higher sensitivity. On low volume levels you'll hear more trebble even from less ... | |
| Help Diagnose Tube Preamp Problem Did you check bias?Tubes that are out of bias deeply might not be good anymore and certaly can pick up microphonies. If the amp is new and tubes are deeply out of bias or you shouldn't bias these amps at all(have manuals?), you should contact the ... | |
| Volume control vs. attenuation control In your case you're describing gain control vs. attenuation control on your preamp section that should be set to the best possible volume range that you want to operate your volume control for ex 7...12 o'clock. If you feel that you get distortion... |
