Phono Stage Impedance Settings Influence On Sound
2021年10月23日 · There's one other consideration -- voltage loss at the phono stage input. Common practice in audio signals is to have the load impedance be at least 10X the source impedance to minimize the degree of voltage lost at the input. This can be especially meaningful with such a low voltage source as a MC phono cart.
Phono Stage RS2 - Steve Hoffman Music Forums
2020年11月24日 · The Phono Box RS2 is the ultimate phono preamplifier of the highest class. It is fully balanced from the input to the output. Electronics are fully discrete, no op-amps are in use and it uses split passive RIAA and DECCA equalization.
A cheap phono pre for a friend? | Steve Hoffman Music Forums
2024年11月12日 · Art DJPRE-LE Limited Edition DJ Phono Preamplifier $69.99 His hifi is not hifi so I am hoping to find something for under 50 bucks that is not horrible. I am totally out of my depth buying such low level stuff. He just wants something to make his nee to him turntable work that is not hideous. Chris
How can I calculate my phono chain's capacitance?
2018年1月22日 · As others have noted, the reason capacitance matters with phono carts is because the inductance of the phono cart and the resistance and capacitance of the cable and phono stage loading the cart together form an oscillating circuit with a resonance at a certain frequency and a steep roll off of frequencies above the resonant frequency.
What Typically Causes Phono Hum? - Steve Hoffman Music Forums
2006年9月16日 · The Phono Cartridge If you've come this far, then the problem must be the phono cartridge. Most cartridges use hi permeability steel shells to protect the coils from electrical fields that can cause hum. However, not all companies use this system. As such , there are some cartridge brands that are sensitive to external electric fields and will hum.
Phono pre-amp gain: Why does it matter? - Steve Hoffman Music …
2020年12月3日 · It’s better but we could still use a gain stage between the phono preamp and the power amp. Someone please correct me if I missed anything. That said, I don’t know if there is a MM signal that’s too low. That’s a new idea to me. 3 or 4 mV seems to sit in a good optimum zone for a 40 dB phono stage. I have tried two Rega cartridges.
Cambridge DUO, phono preamp anyone - Steve Hoffman Music …
2022年12月16日 · Cambridge Audio ALVA Duo Moving Coil & Moving Magnet Phono Preamp Review here Review and Measurements of Cambridge Audio Duo Phono Preamp Not been able to listen to my headphones for a while, my search ended and this modest phono stage with headphone output was one of it's kind, so I ordered one.
Recommendations for a high end tube RIAA/phono stage
2024年2月17日 · I found that a higher end phono was not the solution. Best sound started with building a better base in my system with preamp and separate power amp. Then, getting out of an integrated amp altogether. I'm not saying the the phono stage isn't important but those are two key amp pieces that matter the most for sound once you have the TT you desire.
Phono preamp VS cart : which has more impact on sound?
2016年11月26日 · A phono pickup and a guitar pickup are indeed very similar technologies, but I think the goals of a hifi system and most electric guitar systems are so different that one shouldn't try to draw too many conclusions about what works in hifi from guitar electronics.
What is the Difference Between RCA and Phono Interconnects?
2018年3月1日 · The phono version claims to have some sort of passive network for use between a turntable & phono stage - sounds like marketing speak to me as the ideal interconnect between these components should just be a low capacitance cable and there are many of these available elsewhere, terminated with RCAs at considerably lower cost than these $100 ...
