If phono preamp uses 12at7 type tubes replace with 12ax7 this will give you 40% more gain,I think it might solve low gain problem.
Gain Question
I may not understand what is going on with my vinyl setup.
The chain goes as follows -
Ortofon Per Windfeld Cart .3 mv output
Herron VTPH-2 phono stage 66 db of gain
Cary SLP05 preamp 10 db of gain.
Sound is great but in order to be at a moderate listening volume, the volume nob on the Cary pre must be almost maxxed out. How can I fix this?
