[quote user="Paul Costa"]Thanks for your reply.I am in the market for either a new pre-amp or phono and line stage.I know they need around 47k for optimal loading, but what else might I be concerned with.Did you have a look on Agon at the two there.&...

Looks like a serious effort that has been kicking around for a while.What tubes are used? Are they twin triode, like 12AX7 or - more likely - 6922? Both t...

[quote user="Brian Clark"]Per Winfeld confirmed to me that the coil former assembly is rotated 45% compared to the regular SPU such that only lateral motion is sensed. Unfortunately I did not think to ask him how the coil/coils was/were wound. Since ...

Hello Romy
This is my first post. Did you take courses in electronics and mechanical engineering or have you learned yourself outside of a structured environment? I am very interested to become proficient in working on/modifying my own electronics. ...

Hi,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]T, thanks for educational reply. I understand what you are saying and where you are coming from but unit I try better transformer, presumably your S&B TX-102 I would not be able to correlate your observations with my...

I guess Thorsten is laughing since he should be the main receiver of TdP email. Popularity of a product is a double bladed sword. I do hope that sales of EAR 834 phono stage increased notably after Romy decided to make that circuit into his "end of ...

The two stages 7788-7721 phonostge can go at near 70dB and it were what I was intended to put in that Chinese chassis. I would like 6-10db more. A transformer? A semiconductor gain stage? A third tube stage? I do not know…
Actually reticently, two s...

T, ‘m glad to see you around. Your position is quite educational although not an unproblematic. I do not agree with some of the points you brought up (I mean that 103-is very low compliance cartridge - 5x10-6 cm/dyne (except D and M), disagree with ...

It might not be necessarily the new wire. With analog there are other billion reasons why it might not sound as it should. Still, I personally can’t stay listening “new” wire with MC cartridges. If you recently futzed with the arm wire then you...

Looking what we do with our players, transports, A/D processors, D/D processors , D/A processors, externals clocks, cables, mass storages I find that it is all so bogus and so irrational. To my surprise I do not see anybody does what I wo...

I like to stress a point that the mammals that write thier doodles for audio publication are not juts ignorant fools but also the cheap, low class, falseificators. No wonder that the audio manufacturing companies do employ the so-called reviewers as ...

While Dima and I were thinking how to get out of our 7788-7721 80dB gain, a visitor in reply to my inquiry above about a “second-type” phonostage sent me a link that make me very much queries. He suggested looking at DACT CT-100 phono module. It is r...

Paul, perhaps I did not understand your posts correctly, but observing your battery obsession throught the time I cannot get one thing: why the freak you are hooked up to the idea of a small, neat battery powered phonostage so much that you start to ...

Brian , I never tried SSG cap in phonostage . SSG has a good reputation ..... but I'd prefer teflon for coupling . Mica caps , even good ones like SSG , seems too "bright" for me , but teflon sound pretty neutral ....

Ok, I did find the phonostage. It was sitting in one of the drawers. I do see a rational for me to put in there- to make sure that it would not be shacked during remodeling but, kill me, I do not remember I put it in there. Anyhow, it is back and it ...

I do not know here to start. I absolutely assertively insist that under normal circumstances it is absolutely imposable to buy matched pairs of NOS tubes, particularly the high Mu tubes. When sellers advertised the “matched pairs” I just discard the ...

Keith,
I do not know why you go crazzy over it. All that is necessary is juts to mention that you are distributing given audio equipment and it would be it….
Anyhow, the Alnick RCL phonostage, the H-1500 II SE one, do you know anything about it? It...

Audio people frequently go astray in their thinking and actions and this creates a good breeding ground for all possible audio sale opportunists. I would like to explore one moment that has not a lot of public attention and to look at the moment slig...
