Pass XP-17 and Hana ML loading question
@karl_desch I'm hoping that Red will be acting more playable will see I'll. keep you posted Monday since I'm swapping ML for Red these weekend

@karl_desch oh my o my .... :) that thing is so precisely matched, system is truly stable and NEUTRAL! the only variable is my TT and my obsession in getting  the best sound without letting my kidneys go... I was about to use only XP 12 to drive m...

@karl_desch XP-12 and XP-17, I was thinking to upgrade to XP-32 if I want to run second TT trough XP-15 but that's in future for now I want to make my existing  system stabile

@lewm yes ssir you are correct, gain stays fixed at 67db and to clarify 47k sounds overdrived that manifests it self as a lot of bass weak mid and high non existing. 1k sounds the best and any lower resistance is a significant drop in performance.

@atmasphere I'm running VPI with 10.5 arm   
Pass XP-17 and Hana ML loading question
@atmasphere that is my fear that my preamp my tone arm and cartridge all together are problematic, the least I suspect would be Pass but its possible XP17 don't like something in the configuration. I was thinking about secondary turntable, i didn'...

@lewm   (47K sounds bad with Hana ML, for example) that is not what I was implying, therefore I am very specific about the preamp I'm using. Problem might be isolated to the specific gear I'm using. Im curious how Unami Red will act with my preamp... 
Pass XP-17 and Hana ML loading question
@lewm Ok I find it weird at list, I will work with that again, how I have more reasons than ever since I got the Unami Red and I will be comparing it with the ML on the same preamp. Let me know what you think about the ML sound at the 47K load, it...

@laginz  well with 47K fixed load you might be SOL, I've tried to push it as hard as I can and on my pre amps Pass XP15 and XP17 ML wouldn't take more than 440 Ohm on XP15 and maximum  1K Ohm on XP17. I tried 47k but it wont take it no matter what...

it is what it is, I make it sound te way I like it so I'm not gonna debate anymore why is it like that.

@atmasphere I have 2 different phono stages from same manufacturer and they both act different in same configuration of the rest of the gear. they producing best sound with loads between 100-333 ohm and XP17 improves sound up to 1k   
Pass XP-17 and Hana ML loading question
@atmasphere  well that is exactly what I did the only difference was I started with 333 ohm than jumped to 47k and back down to 100ohm just to go back to the 1k that is where I decided  is the best setting for my setup.  
Pass XP-17 and Hana ML loading question
in my case 47k is just not working, believe me Iv'e tried.   
Pass XP-17 and Hana ML loading question
what was the minimal load value that it sounded acceptable ?  
Pass XP-17 and Hana ML loading question
I would conclude that, MC cartridges (at least in my case Hana ML) and XP15 works with loads anywhere between 100-333 ohms sounds the best,  and XP17 will work the best between 100 and 1000 ohms for optimal best sound.
