| Best TT plinth material, cost no object I realize that the experiments are not comparable but it seems to me that you used three distinctly different sounding tables into a common plinth and they all took on a similar characteristic. I guess the proper thing to do would be to try a diff... | |
| Best TT plinth material, cost no object Hey LewMYou mentioned that putting three different tables in a plinth and they all sounded more alike. This makes me wonder if the plinth material is dominating the sonic character and not the tables themselves.I recently heard the same 301 in the... | |
| cart measurement vs quoted spec [b]There is a resonant peak ~ 12dB --- can you believe it, at between 80Hz - 120 Hz!But it does not translate into hearing it... The main issue it that whacked out channel balance. [/b]Are you saying that a measured 12dB peak at 80-120hz is inaudi... | |
| Hi End Pre-Amp shoot out in central jersey? OK,I have to ask what is a [b] phonon that has approx. 200db of gain.[/b]?200dB is a gain of 8,000,000,000.dave | |
| The correct internal-inductance of Windfeld cart.? 3) Why didnt Dave step up to the plate and tell me he is a SUT manufacturer, maybe he thinks we all know this? Well, as you can see I didnt.I didn't know it was expected. Many forums frown upon manufacturers hawking their wares so I simply use... | |
| The correct internal-inductance of Windfeld cart.? Call it 'zilch mode', 'cause you are pumping current through the cart coil and a RESISTOR to no aparent effect what so ever!Why even ask, just put a short circuit...a 10 ohm load will output the same voltage and current from the cartridge period. ... | |
| The correct internal-inductance of Windfeld cart.? Dave asked what if he puts a 10ohm!! resistor thereI asked no such thing. I made a statement of fact that paralleling the 47K resistor at the input of the phono stage with a 13 ohm resistor and DISPENSING with the SUT would provide a 10 ohm load o... | |
| The correct internal-inductance of Windfeld cart.? If I have said anything technically incorrect i'll gladly accept corrections and apologize for errors I have made.dave | |
| The correct internal-inductance of Windfeld cart.? The main point you are missing here is that 20 times the voltage i.e. 6.8mV instead of 0.3mV into 47k pre-input-impedance, WILL and DOES 'pull' more current on the primary side which has ONLY 10 ohm impedance! A virtual short circuit!!I'm sorry, N... | |
| The correct internal-inductance of Windfeld cart.? Now to the current. A trannie like a 1:31.6 has a DCR of about 1.5 ohms on primary, and as we calculated 47ohm inductance and with a 13ohm in || a 10.18 ohm impedance.what is a 47 ohm inductance? Also the 10.18 ohm is only the resistive nature of ... | |
| The correct internal-inductance of Windfeld cart.? Hey Axel, Last part: Therefore "Current mode" means that the cart delivers the most current it can, into the SUT's primary and the best / most when properly impedance matched. I still don't get your "voltage mode, vs current mode" statements with ... | |
| The correct internal-inductance of Windfeld cart.? Hey Lew,In a perfect world, The SUT would be ideal and hence invisible to the cartridge and all loads of equal value would sound the same. Experiences Like Axel's just show how far from ideal transformers really are. I do not think any sweeping ge... | |
| The correct internal-inductance of Windfeld cart.? I think Axel is spot on with his comments and approach. I'm not quite sure I follow his distinction between "current" and "voltage mode" but maybe that is best for a different thread.Lewm wrote:I don't know of anyone else who uses a SUT and loads ... | |
| Platter Upgrade for Garrard 301 thomas.thanks for the link to schall and rauch. It made me remember the passion.thanks!dave | |
| Artemis Labs Ph-1 owners..... Hey Don,Are you using s step up now? It seems your #1 concern is noise and a SUT will help you address this problem since they can give "noiseless" gain. If you add a 1:10 you will increase your signal by 20dB which will require 20dB of attenuatio... |
