The TAP TVC does happen support a fully balanced topology, for whatever that's worth. I have not discovered anything difinitive about this for myself, however. I can say that I do not consider the unit's situational neutrality as anything...

[quote user="Paul S"]Is there such a thing as partly unshielded arm wire? If you want that run shielded, don't you have to start at the cartridge connection? [/quote]Paul, the tonearm wire runs inside the metal armwands (EMT & SME), which in tur...

The positive feedback published a review by Marshall Nack of SP-102 Phono Stage: http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue69/vitus_sp102.htmIt is an interesting review despite that some of the Marshall’s comments do not makes sense at all. I did not he...

You are right about the sound of YouTube.I recorded the sound directly from LCR phono through TASCAM DR-100 recorder (24 bit / 96 kHz) and added it into video then uploaded to YouTube....

The 834p is a tried and true circuit. It should be OK. If you have hum, I would suspect the step up transformers first and the power supply second. Maybe a ground lead is not attached?Take it completely out of the system, disconnect the phono leads, ...

Hi, I am new here and would like to say hi.I am a owner of an ET SU-1 and would like to know what phono stage would go best with it. Would a Lamm LP2 be a good match?Will be using a Dynavector XV1s with it. Thanks in advance...

[quote user="SOS "]I've tried even placing a cheater plug on the PP+ unit and still get the hum. Why can everything be plugged into another conditioner or everything into the wall and all is dead quite BUT plug either the phono stage and or the TT mo...

With my limited experience of using pentodes (primary as phono corrector first stage) I think that the most mysterious in them is power supply of bias to "other" grids. Looking at the Milq schematics it is obvious that I pay too much attention to th...

The question in my mind Romy is: why? I will be interested to hear your comment on what your goal was to learn about your system in introducing these and what the results are. After the extent to which you have described the sound of your...

It's polishing a turd though isn't it? I listened to the 834 quite a bit when it came out and thought it sounded poor, even for the price. imho, The circuit's just bad. If you do all that to it it isn't really an 834 anyway. I used to work for a valv...

Bob Graham of Graham Engineering can provide you with a silver wire transformer that sounds great to my ears. More accurately, I don't hear it detracting from my enjoyment. I use mine in conjunction with his silver wired phono cartridge s...

Ok, already, using as many words as you like.I at least need something for my phono stage that increases the number of days I can use it each month.If it's a real, "no-qualifiers" full-system solution I may have a siezure getting out my che...

Hello all i must have missed the subject line with pp2000 noise i have not noticed any hiss at all from all inputs except my phono amp. Whats the problem and fix?ThanksMike...

Romy, why not get this guy's phono stage to try so we all can benefit from an unbiased opinion of its performance? Rgs,montepilot...

From your descriptions, it sounds like your phono safety ground makes a ground loop, or at least raise resistance for something, when you connect it to your PP. Are any of your ICs connected to ground at any point? The ICs "should" connect your compo...

In the past there was such a concept of full-function preamplifiers that included MM and MC inputs. With time such devises die out and nowadays it is VERY difficult to find a full-function preamplifier generally and a good sounding full-function ...

I recently could not pass up a good deal on a EAR 834P MM, so I will have the opportunity to compare it to my current phono stage. It is funny since I had planned to listen to EAR phono stage in my system about 10-15 years ago when I lived in Santa M...

The iDAT-44+ just got back from a visit with its dad, John Wright, to repair an intermittant fault and to work his current round of "upgrades" to the sound. Also, over the course of re-integrating the fixed and improved iDAT, I re-thought the way I ...

It just was brought to my attention that Shelters released 2 new cartridges: 7000 and 9000. They claim for both: New design technology. Newly designed body, high rigidity, improved front-yoke, larger diameter PC-OCC lead wires wound around the redesi...

Thank you very much for all the help/advise. I'm still to investigate the problem. The working hypothesis is that my phono has some GND routing problem. Will examine it with the scope and shortening method to see if that's the case.

[quote user="twogoodears"] Yes Roman... I feel pretty like I entered a sort of "cul de sac", tube-wise... I contacted, few months ago, Western Electric USA and they told me that, at USD 750 ea. they have "plenty" of N.O.S. WE 437A... I've been ab...

My exorcisms to eliminate 100Hz PP induced noise in the EndOfLife phono gave no results so far.
- I took GND from the PP socket and tried connecting it to various GND points I could access (the signal GND plane, input sockets GN...

Hi Romy,Due in part to your enthusiasm for the older 78 rpm recordings and in part to my own curiosity I have decided to add the facility to play these to my system. It also helps that an old aunt has given me a large quantity of classical recordings...

Perhaps I should have mentioned before that the K&K is another spin-off of the well-received Arthur Loesch RIAA network. Also, the K&K's gain scheme is based on "classic" microphone circuits. While I am not say...

It is not about the LCR phono as a concept – many companies manufacture the RIAA LCR constant impedance networks: Lundahl, Tango, S&B, Da Vinci, A-D, your Allnic looks like dose them as well. The LCR filter is not complex and any manufacturing ho...

Paul,As you know I am also a believer in the hard tracing, and have likewise consistently rejected all MC cartridges due to the lack of realism and their inability to penetrate beyond the most superficial layers of audio splendor, though these they d...

When the AC and the recording are good, the K&K tracks big choruses and piano fortisimos cleanly, as well, the first time in my hi-fi experience I have had a phono stage that can do this. The trouble with the really big stuff is that i...
