| Can I use a step up transformer? Dear Halcro,Regarding your question of tuning the SUT by changing the capacitance I would not recommend doing it. You are creating a somehow high pass filter similar to a loudspeaker X-over. | |
| Can I use a step up transformer? "If phonostage gain not enough, investing to higher output cartridge is wiser than to SUT. That's where math easily replaces all the science behind."- sounds simple, but isn't. Using higher output cartridges you are facing several disadvantages yo... | |
| Can I use a step up transformer? Investing in SUTs depends on how good is your phono chain and of course the system at all.Using high efficieny speakers is an add on in my opinion as well as a good reproduction of high but also low frequencies.Let me state in a somehow provoking ... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Dear Lewm,There are some 927 in the US. Recently I just got information from a friend who aquired one from a studio in Illinois. Of course you need a good restoring shop - but there should be some too. So there is hope 😉.You're right on the sorcer... | |
| Can I use a step up transformer? Dear Raul,Your position is quite a theoretical one: "the best SUT is no SUT".Of course you always have to deal with compromises.The weak point in matching is - and you are talking about it too - the phono stage.When you have experimented with so m... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Dear Lewm,Suspense is the most important ingredient of a good thread.Suspension is one of the secrets of a good working 927! I see you are philosophically locked. In this case there is only one doctor who can help but I see he already came running... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Dear Nandric,It's not about competing. We want make you happy :-). Your TTs are good tables but not in the top range. Anyway it is only a suggestion. You do not need following us but do not minimize the importance of a good drive. It's where it al... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Dear Nandric,not caring about TTs is a position of extravagance you are taking. I know you are provoking a bit. May I propose you are going for a very good table and put your tonearms and carts on it. You might then return and tell me about your n... | |
| Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth? Dear Raul,Having owned and tested many (and still own some very good) tables, tonearms, phono-pres and carts I am pretty sure that the table is the basis to build upon. The virtual journey I made to Continuum in Melbourne some 6 years ago was a ve... | |
| Can I use a step up transformer? Dear Raul,I guess you know dealing with parameters in this matching process that we are facing two coils looking at each other, the one of the cart, the other of the SUT. You need harmonizing both in the best way. You know how to do it Raul as you... | |
| Can I use a step up transformer? Humand,matching MCs with the appropriate SUT is not an easy job. If you are using SUTs and they do color the sound, are loosing the low or high end, you definitely have a mismatch. And the result will be like you described.Working with many phono ... | |
| Can I use a step up transformer? Dear Nandric,25 is enough :-)or? | |
| Can I use a step up transformer? Dear Raul,Basic means using the settings (and ranges) the phono preamp comes with. If you do not stop here but use perfect matching cart/step up combinations thus precisely align the two facing coils you may enter into a different musical experience. | |
| Can I use a step up transformer? Regarding matching carts and phono stages if you really want to see what they can deliver you should not stop on a basic level. This matter is not plug & play or just connect two units or  avoid using cables and connections.  Here it starts to... | |
| Can I use a step up transformer? Thom,Just on the contrary. When I am using the Chinook with matching step ups this phono stage really starts to blossom. |
