| 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 | |
| Pass XP-17 and Hana ML loading question well when I load Hanna ML on XP15 with 47k the bass was amazing, but top end and half of mid was nonexistence. so naturally I will load 17 with 47k and see what will happen. | |
| Pass XP-17 and Hana ML loading question @lewm Regarding loading resistance please read my comment above, my experience shows me it does make difference. | |
| Pass XP-17 and Hana ML loading question Ok guys, so far all I can tell you is that you weren’t squeezing top of the performance from the XP17 if You have it set at 66db of gain and 100ohms load. I have run my Hana ML through that setting it seam like sound was super blunt. Then I trie... | |
| Shocked. Need Opinions. How muck power do I need? @swede58 yes, JBL 4367 does the trick at 94db 8ohm and they are set at neutral setting for crossover loads | |
| Pass XP-17 and Hana ML loading question @lewm Yes, circuits are diametrically different that is a fact, but loading the cartridge should have same effect on cartridge performance , sound of it at least on the dynamic level should be similar to the loads on 15 at least in the character... | |
| Shocked. Need Opinions. How muck power do I need? @swede58 well that those 16 watts, is just enough.... :-) |
