Thanks for your test LP recommendations, I will look it up.
BTW, I already have Hi-Fi News Test LP- The Producer's Cut and The Ultimate Analog Test LP by Analog Productions.
Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp
Hello,
I have recently acquired a phono pre amp recommended by Michael Fremer. It is “THE VINYL”, from QHW audio, Spain. It got a great review. I have a Benz Micro Glider rated at 1.1MV. I have no idea how to set the dip switches for MC Load impedance for this cartridge. The options I have are as follows: 47K, 1K, 560R, 470R, 100R, and 47R. I have a solid state amp and pre-amp, and also have a sub that I use, rarely.
Any advice would be most appreciated!!
@holmz Oh man, you're doing Raul's homework for him😄! I suspect you know how any generator will respond when asked to do say, 470 times more work? BTW you are correct that the output voltage isn't the same with the two different load resistances since the source impedance isn't zero. But since both loads (47K and 100 Ohms) are over 10x the source impedance, they will have little effect on the output voltage (which I simply ignored to make a point). No need to hang your head in shame, although I suspect that comment was facetious. At any rate, the answer to Raul's latest query to me is inside the answer to the last question I posed to him. |
atmasphere @holmz : " " Your target for mechanical resonance is between 7-12Hz. The mechanical resonance is a product of the mass of the cartridge in the arm vs the compliance of the cantilever of the cartridge. Changing the load from 47K to 100 Ohms can easily get you outside of this target window- and that can cause tracking problems.. " "
Where out side in specific: 5hz? 15hz? 6hz? . All you have to do is show it.

@rauliruegas I see you are refusing to answer my prior question to you. I've handed all the information you need to you on a silver platter. But the way you are reacting suggests you are not here for any other reason than to troll. If that is not the case, go ahead and answer my prior question. Here again for your convenience, are both of my prior questions. If you are disinclined, I can only assume its because trolling is your goal rather than anything else:
