Post Subject: The TX-103 optimization kits...Posted by Romy the Cat on: 1/24/2005
T, although I am not in disagreement with what you suggest but I have to admit that your expectation of user applications dose not make sense to me. I’m taking the use of a transformer in a system and getting a result out of it instead of building a universal product available for resell.
I person has one cartridge, installed at one arm and a person has it for 3-5 years (some people much longer). Why the person needs a severely sound-worsening gain switch or an ease-changeable loading resistor (foolishly placed at the secondary coil instead being placed at the grid of the input tube)?
After the person have found the correct combination between his cartridge, loading and gain then it will never change and the person do not need all of this “accessories”. Therefore all those “added values” that Bent Audio and others stick into TX-103 are juts a leisure for the Morons who makes those changes each weekend and then compare their full of “wisdom” notes at AA. Is it the tarter customers for the Bent Audio?
If people happen having multiple arms and multiple cartridges then they most likely have multiple transformers and multiple phonocorrectors (or multiple inputs with the defend loads…)
So, I have no idea who was a target market for those TX-103 optimization kits and I find them totally unnecessary, even “bad for sound”. After all necessary configuration found these entire things should be permanently soldered and never touched again until the needle or the corrector change.
