| Does it improve the sound of a MM or MI cartridge by playing it through a phono stage? Sutherland has several in the lowish price points - $900, $1400, and $2200 (and several higher end up to I think $15K). All are considered great values compared to the competition and the $1400 and $2200 ones have reasonable priced options for a l... | |
| Does it improve the sound of a MM or MI cartridge by playing it through a phono stage? I think the Sutherland will sound better either way because it sounded WAY better with the Van den hul. I would have to switch it to low gain, but if I do this I would probably just use the Sutherland with the 47K load and 45dB gain.In all likelih... | |
| Does it improve the sound of a MM or MI cartridge by playing it through a phono stage? The settings on the phono stage are 100 ohms, 200, 1000, 10000, 47000. Not 100K. For my back up MC cartridge, if I do use it, I will select the 47K ohm setting for impedence and 50dB gain on my phono stage.. | |
| Does it improve the sound of a MM or MI cartridge by playing it through a phono stage? Didn't see a post from Elliott on this discussion. | |
| Does it improve the sound of a MM or MI cartridge by playing it through a phono stage? Then why does a cartridge have a recommended load impedence from a phono stage and so many phono stages have adjustments for that? And why don't I hear about cartridge internal resistance? I thought gain was more of a preference as to how loud and... | |
| Does it improve the sound of a MM or MI cartridge by playing it through a phono stage? Thanks Lewm. I won't confused. You need to match the output of the cartridge with the resistance/impedence of the phono stage. I was thinking with a standard output MM cartridge, it wouldn't matter what phono stage you used as long as it operated ... | |
| Does it improve the sound of a MM or MI cartridge by playing it through a phono stage? Sorry Wolfie - I guess a better phono stage is a better phono stage, even if they are both ideally matched to a MM/MI cartridge and have a 47K ohm impedance. Maybe it doesn't make as big a difference as with a MC cartridge, or maybe it is assumed ... | |
| Does it improve the sound of a MM or MI cartridge by playing it through a phono stage? I just thought that since the Plinius regular output setting is 47K (I would think), and it has a high output position as well that I used in the past for the Van den hul. "Regular" I thought would be like a phono option on a typical receiver (I ... | |
| Does it improve the sound of a MM or MI cartridge by playing it through a phono stage? I am talking about the phono stage built into the Plinius. Would the Sutherland at 47K ohms sound any better than the Plinius' phono stage? Does it matter if it is a MC or MM/MI cartridge? | |
| Buying a new TT today I’ve probably spent roughly the same on hardware as software over the years. How about you? | |
| Buying a new TT today hshifi - I don't think anyone cares about a stock cartridge being on a turntable unless it is a really inexpensive rig (if you want to call it that) when they are looking to buy a used table. If the one that comes with it is OK with you, you might... | |
| is this the greatest live band of all time? Stones played last year after Mick's heart issue and I think he was out to prove something. It was raining for a good bit of the show and his roadies were squeegeeing the stage the majority of the time. I beleive in past years it would have been r... | |
| Buying a new TT today The ones who just buy the most expensive without doing any research of course cannot appreciate what they own.I am sure in certain situations the most expensive is the best, but you still need to confirm that.Chakster - "It is not about saving as ... | |
| is this the greatest live band of all time? No contest -Springsteen. Nobody puts on a show like him. Stones are close. | |
| Buying a new TT today You can't go wrong with your choice AJ. The deal you got was fantastic, and you got to hear the differences as you compared each level of Rega's offerings and assess their value to you. Like you saw though, all Rega would have been a mistake if yo... |
