| SUT for Lyra Clavis Evolve 99 Alanpiga,Another factor with SUTs is that the SUT will "step down" the impedance that the cartridge "sees" at the phono stage by a factor of the voltage gain squared. So, for my set-up, at the 40 ohm tap, the gain is 10x the voltage (0.7mV to 7.0m... | |
| SUT for Lyra Clavis Evolve 99 EAR MC-4. Very flexible and built like a tank. The MC-4 has 3 ohm, 6 ohm, 12 ohm and 40 ohm taps. The 3 ohm tap is 30x voltage gain and the 6 ohm tap is 24x. The 40 ohm tap is 10x. How much gain does your phono stage provide? I run my phono stage ... | |
| new tung sol kt 120 From my understanding, the tubes are only recently available on a large scale. Chris J just started to carrying them. | |
| new tung sol kt 120 I run Sonic Frontiers SFM-160s, which use four KT-88/6550s per amp to produce 160w. My current situation has Gold Lions in the amps. Great sound.I exchanged e-mails with Chris Johnson re: the KT-120s. While an increase in power of about 10% is com... | |
| 12-inch armwand on Graham Phantom II? Would love to see the cheat sheet if it comes available. I run a Phantom Mk ii with a 10" arm wand on a TNT Mk IV.Brent | |
| Bulk cables: Oyaide vs Furutech I would drop Chris VenHaus at VH Audio an e-mail. Great advice, selection and service. | |
| VPI HRX If you truly want to go with the Phantom Mk ii and the HRX, that is your decision. FWIW, I consider the Phantom Mk ii the best non-table specific pivoting arm made. If yes, I would suggest you contact VPI and speak with Mike. I recently mounted a ... | |
| Best budget, high current, DIY power cord wire? I have exchanged e-mails with Chris VenHaus on this one and have done my own A/B testing. THE budget high current PC is the Flavor 4. You will find better, but not unless you spend multiples more. Build a Flavor 4 with your favorite connectors and... | |
| Isolation of stacked components I have done some research on this topic and learned alot. I am getting ready to try a solutions.Question: has anyone actually shielded the power transformer of stacked components to reduce EMI/RFI? I have found fairly easy and inexpensive solution... | |
| Isolation of stacked components Thanks for the responses. Steve at HAL did suggest I try four ExtraFirm Tenderfeet under the bottom unit and four regular TenderFeet between the two units to ensure proper loading. I have had ALOT of luck with his advice and products, plus they fi... | |
| Isolation of stacked components Thanks, but that is not feasible in my arrangement. | |
| Does my phono stage have sufficient gain? Thanks, Dougdeacon. I hope I didn't sound "prickly" in my response. I ALWAYS like critical input - only way to improve. Yes, Bill Thalmann and Chris Johnson did wonderful work: completely re-wired with Teflon di-electric solid core Ag, Teflon V-ca... | |
| Does my phono stage have sufficient gain? Thanx, Dougdeacon. Ths impedance issue is a concern. Using the 3 ohm tap on the MC-4 and the stock 47.7K ohm impedance of my phono stage, the load impedance would be about 53 ohms = 47,700/(30^2) - low for the UNIverse. Might not be a good fit. I ... | |
| Does my phono stage have sufficient gain? As always Al, thanks for the education.Brent | |
| Good tube tech in Milwaukee, WI? I have used Audio Ventures of Waukesha, WI (http://www.audioventures.com/) to great satisfaction for both tube monoblock repair and speaker re-building. I am also familiar with other audio nuts who have used them and been very satisfied, including... |
