| TX-103 break in. Don't go connecting a CD player to the outputs of your SUT! It will have ZERO effect and be a WASTE of TIME! | |
| TX-103 break in. The MOST important (and overlooked) thing about mc SUT's: KEEP THE OUTPUT CABLE SHORT! Repeat: SHORT! That's all! | |
| TX-103 break in. If I desire to hear a different "flavor" of sound, I can select from any of the six. They all have dissimilar resistances and gain ratios. "Burn-in" is not, and has never been a consideration because I know electrical theory. I believe in SCIENCE ... | |
| TX-103 break in. I bought my first mc SUT in 1978. A Verion P (designed by Mitch Cotter) and using Jensen transformers. Alas, I no longer have it! But I have on hand 6 others, including a Quicksilver (designed by Mike Sanders). So I can speak with some authority o... | |
| TX-103 break in. The core of ANY transformer DOES NOT require "burn-in"! This is TOTAL BS! Magical thinking! Anybody with an EE degree would laugh at you! | |
| TX-103 break in. @charliee: I see from your second post here that you must have done poorly in your college physics course. Not knowing how a transformer works! Willing to believe in any old Mumbo-Jumbo! | |
| TX-103 break in. "Burn-in of mc SUT transformer core" - File under: FLAT EARTH SCIENCE. | |
| Pre-Preamp? The best mc SUT I have (of the five) is probably the Quicksilver (Mike Sanders). | |
| Pre-Preamp? And if you need more gain for your mc cartridge, then get a good mc step up transformer - which I do and recommend! | |
| Pre-Preamp? Keep that SP11! Don't replace it with a Ch*nese - made preamp! Have a competent tech replace some power supply caps, if need be! It already has an excellent phono stage! | |
| Double Advent wiring question... I remember that TAS had a favorable review of stacked Advents back a long time ago! Good luck! | |
| Double Advent wiring question... I give millercarbon an F on this electronics pop test! | |
| Double Advent wiring question... @millercarbon : You've got it wrong! Parallel wiring reduces combined impedance to half - two 8 ohm speakers become a 4 ohm load. As the OP stated. Series connection of two 8 ohm speakers doubles the impedance - 16 ohms is the result. This I don't... | |
| Your favourite Rush albums? I still like some Rush! 2112 is pretty good! | |
| Your favourite Rush albums? +1 for Bitches Brew! The thinking man's DSOTM! Makes most so-called prog rock sound like kindergarten! |
