| Burn your power cables in PROPERLY with Haglabs Frycorder I like the part where even his wife can hear it. Isn't that the ultimate test? | |
| Higher Impedance MC Carts on Transimpedance Stages? I worked this out. Bandwidth is where current is half of maximum. This occurs when impedance from cart inductance equals cart resistance. If the bandwidth is acceptable, cart will run fine. Bandwidth is given as: f = R/(6.3*L); Or you can use t... | |
| phono stage help please. My Bugle MC might fit the bill? | |
| recommendation for phono pre amp and mc cartridge, around 1000$ each A bit over budget, but my Trumpet MC phonostage will work with any MC cart you end up selecting. | |
| Cable Break In for the Naysayers Good post @ozzy. A lot of the ASR folk state (with apparent absolute authority) that if you can’t measure it, you can’t hear it. I’d like to know approximately which year this started. Was it true a hundred or two hundred years ago? In 1924, we h... | |
| Burn your power cables in PROPERLY with Haglabs Frycorder @agisthos Thank you for the kind words and testimonial. Cable break-in is one of those things you just need to try for yourself.

| MM Phono Stages With Greater Than 40 dB of Gain? Cornet MM has a fixed gain of 44dB. You can't change it, as both passive EQ and gain are tied to 12AX7 parameters. It is what it is. https://www.haglabs.com/collections/phono-preamps/products/cornet-mm-vacuum-tube-phono-preamp If you need 64dB ... | |
| MM Cartridge to MC Cartridge In order to maximize the upgrade, I would recommend making sure it has an advanced stylus shape (line contact) as opposed to elliptical. | |
| Remove Radio Station Background Noise Sometimes there is nothing more you can do besides ferrite beads. Not that I recommend them, but they can work if done right. The problem isn't your cable (XLR or RCA), the problem is RF signals (radio) are getting into your phonostage and it is ... | |
| DAC UPGRADE QUESTION Looking for upgrade suggestions as thinking I can improve my sound further with a better sounding DAC. There is another approach you can take to make the DAC more analog-like, and that is to use a tube buffer on the output. I just launched o... | |

| Source for resistors for an acoustech/sutherland phono preamp Changing loading isn't going to help your bottom end much. It basically just changes the top end. Perhaps play with VTA and VTF instead? | |

| Solid state or Tubes preamp phono stage. First, I would like to thank everyone for the positive comments regarding my Trumpet MC. It's a design I am very proud of, being able to reduce the cost of a world-class differential tube phono circuit design down to a price regular folk can affo... |
