Dear @folkfreak : Good for that change to SS, bad that’s only a MM and you will be sticked with that " terrible " SUT.
""" The designer of this stage believes that any high gain (i.e. much above 40dB) phono stage represents unacceptable compromises.. ""
With my respect to that designer and I don’t care whom is he that statement is nothing less than a stupid one for say the least and only means that that designer has very limited knowledge on how to build/design a 60db with out " compromises ".
My dear @folkfreak this is not rocket science, yes you need some engennering knowledge level and skills and experience about. If that designer can’t design a Phonolinepream for LOMC cartridges then stay away from him.
Yes, as we have more active gain noise levels can goes up and even some kind of distortions but you can put it at minimum where no one can detect it , certainly not me because as you say I’m " deaf ".
Look what your designer is telling you:
"" that a high gain well designed active circuit puts higher " compromises " than a MM circuit plus all what I told you about the SUT ""
that is just incredible and more incredible is that left him to convince you in the same way that you were convinced to add and " destroy " those great Q3 you own adding the Enigma ones that you with those speakers just don’t need it ! ! ? ? ! !
Btw, I don’t need to go to your place to know all the mistakes exist in your system and I don’t need to go to Portland to know all the " land " that exist in that system to improve severely its quality level performance.
I just don’t need it but appreciated your invitation and thank’s for that.
In audio the name of the game ( and I posted this several times here an elsewhere. ) is not money ( that always helps a lot. ) is: KNOWLEDGE LEVELS, OWN SKILLS and IGNORANCE LEVELS.
aS THE op YOU CAN FOLLOW MAKING " MISTAKES " THIS IS PART OF THE EACH DAY LEARNING LESSONS AND YOU HAVDE THE MONEY TO DO IT BUT WHEN YOU TAKE/TOOK DECISIONS BECAUE A DESIGNER OR SELLER gave advises these advises are the ones that you have to take it with a little " salt " because at the end all of them ( including distributors and reviewers. ) their main target is to take your money that’s it’s really easy because you are " educated " by the corrupted AHEE and always are willing to do it.
As all of us you have to follow learning, of course that exist people that are just stupid and never learns. No, I’m not refereing to you, first than all I respect to you as a human been and as a music lover.
Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
R.
Btw, the gentleman that coincide with my past advise to you about subwoofers is not a " deaf " as me, he knows very well not only your Q3 but listened too the 5 and 7. Is an expert not an amateur as me.
