Symphonic Line RG3 and built in phono amp

Mattheus, doesn't yr pre have trannies at the MC input?
One thing you could try, phone them (in German -- if you speak german, that is).
It seems the input transformers are bypassed somehow. All you have to do is put them back in the circuit. It's easy to match the loading thereafter.

I called symphonic Line an tried to explain in my best German. They confirmed the phonoamp can be set for low output MC. I needed to know, since I will buy a ZYX Airy 3 S SB with 0,24mV output. Thanks anyhow.

Hi R,
...it would have helped even more had they explained HOW you do it.
Oh well!

Well, they explained but I can't really describe it in good English. It seems there are about 5 or 6 pegs inside on the phonoamp to manipulate the load. All off = 1kOhm. But I'm no technical wizzard, so I will have to give it a try when the ZYX arrives.
