| Make a trasnformer hum 101 ^^ How about a power conditioner for SMPS and a separate power conditioner for everything else? :) | |
| Make a trasnformer hum 101 One issue then would be - what to do with SMPS, wallwarts or otherwise, that are now prevalent as part of an audio setup. | |
| Confessions from a VPI owner of some 30 years Not sure I understand. You had an issue with your SDS. It took a while but VPI stepped up to the plate and replaced it with a brand new ADS as the SDS was being discontinued. The ADS is apparently working fine. Maybe it is just me but I dont k... | |
| Insane ground loop; anybody wanna try? There can be a combination or cumulative effect of issues. | |
| Insane ground loop; anybody wanna try? Are you sure it is a ground loop and not EMI/RFI? | |
| SUTs and Resistive Loading Questions Free opinions and free speech. | |
| SUTs and Resistive Loading Questions I agree less is more (and thus don’t like using more connections, resistors, etc, than necessary), but this is about trying different loading with a cart/SUT/phono setup to see what sounds best. If the resistors make a difference, then I would mos... | |
| SUTs and Resistive Loading Questions Larry, thats what I intend to try. It is easy enough. Lew thanks for describing the other options on the primary side. I will look into it further.As for the need for a SUT, my pre has sufficuent gain for a MC but my experience is that using a SUT... | |
| SUTs and Resistive Loading Questions You are correct. I fixed my prior post before your last response. | |
| SUTs and Resistive Loading Questions Al, you are correct. I need to take into account the SUT with a 100 ohms setting on my phono preamp. But if you run the calculations as if loading on the secondary side, doesnt look like I will be able to do it - Id have to increase load, and that... | |
| SUTs and Resistive Loading Questions I'm familiar with the Rothwell site and links. Thanks.In a prior setup, I did notice a difference between 100 versus 200 or 470 ohms.Cart is Dyna 20x2L. | |
| recommendations of phono preamps < $3000 range Lehmann audio decade. | |
| VPI paper alignment jig I also recommend a Mint Protractor. It's mirror surface and alignment lines/curves to prevent paralax is worth it. | |
| SUT shootout If you collect carts, you probably will need to collect SUTs also irrespective of impedance ranges. ;)Im looking at a Hashimoto that suppposedly has a switch for 2-7 ohms and 7-40 ohms. Other SUTs like Bobs Devices have similar switches. | |
| SUT shootout SUTs are very cart and system specific. |
