| Pass XP-17 and Hana ML loading question 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. | |
| Pass XP-17 and Hana ML loading question @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. | |
| Pass XP-17 and Hana ML loading question well I have no idea why they acting like that but to me it's a new endeavor with TT and cartridges and phono stages... I guess I'll keep working on it till I'm satisfied. maybe Hana ML is not the greatest match to my tonearm ? would that make such... | |
| Pass XP-17 and Hana ML loading question @lewm Ok I verified sound track from cartridge to the "phone stage pre-amplifier"- (I think that is correct name of it)- all good that way. Yes they both have similar sonic characteristics, and after conversation with Pass tech support I realiz... | |
| Pass XP-17 and Hana ML loading question @lewm If you think it is possible I will call to Pass labs and have conversation with the tech. Both amps seam to act the same way when comes to the 47k load. Anyhow I'll report back what Pass has to say about it. | |
| Pass XP-17 and Hana ML loading question @atmasphere I can make sure it is connected correctly, How would I know what color on cartridge is corresponding with +post and what color is what channel ? where I can find diagram ? | |
| Pass XP-17 and Hana ML loading question No, unfortunately I own only one MC cartridge Hana ML , my other cartridge is MM Ortofon 2M Black And what I meant by saying "terrible" was, sporrans and mid got clipped about 30% while bass got big but hollow and muddy no definition at al ju... | |
| Pass XP-17 and Hana ML loading question @atmasphere Wow you changed my perspective how I look at the problem ! great let me read it again so it can sync in and I'll try to experiment a bit and try to load it with different resistance and see how it effect it. BTW I tried 47k and it so... | |
| Pass XP-17 and Hana ML loading question I don't have much experience with phono stages 35 years ago I had integrated amp that had dedicated phono input. So far I tested Schiid Mani and Mani2 they are ok sounding but noise level was outrageous at 66db gain. Next I got to deal with XP15 ... | |
| Pass XP-17 and Hana ML loading question @lewm I understand your doubt but all im saying thats the facts that I can hear. Now I've tried also setting of XP15 at 1K ohm and it was better than 47K so I consequently started to drop the resistance first to 850 it got better than 500 bet... | |
| Pass XP-17 and Hana ML loading question @testpilot I don't think I have 100 h on the unit yet so yes breaking period is understandable |
