Tron Seven Phono

Hi there!

I have a standart Tron Seven Phono from 2006.

I´m am quit happy with it, i think........ I havent tryed others on my current setup, so i dont know "better".
I have read that many others is quit happy with the Tron Phono, so why shuldnt i be?

But i have the past mounth been thinking about what it can and can not. It sounds great with my Lyra Delos, but the Tron is a pluk and play phono. There is NO settings........ So how can i be serten that i get the full out of my cart?

Can any explain me how the Tron Seven Phono works and why it has`nt any setings. Other Phonos are packd with different settings so you can set the recomanded load or any other settings.

That why i`m beginning to questions the Tron Seven Phono..... But do i have any reasent to question it???

I disagree with this statement. The Delos can sound quite disagreeable without proper loading, at least in my system using SUTs. If you pay attention to transients and timbre you get important differences depending on loading. If you aren't tuned in to acoustic instruments (e.g. good classical recordings) you may not notice this as much.

I disagree with myself, to some extent. It seems that the reason for the large differences that I was hearing was that I was overloading the MM input. So by loading down the Delos I was actually reducing the output and therefore curing the overloading. Had I been using a 8x or a 10x transformer, I don't think that the sonic differences with cartridge loading (above 50 ohms) would be nearly as significant.

Resistive loading is really NOT a big issue when it comes to step up transformers. The bigger concern is the appropriate turn ratio and the amount of gain provided by the step up transformer.
