Pass XP-17 and Hana ML loading question
@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'... 
Pass XP-17 and Hana ML loading question
@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... 
Pass XP-17 and Hana ML loading question
@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... 
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 ?
