I went from a Sutherland KC Vibe to a Sutherland TZ Vibe. I’m using it with a Hana ML moving coil cartridge. It sounds really good. You could speak to Ron Sutherland if you want to verify compatibility.

Looking for help with a Benz SL low output cartridge
I have been using my Technics turntable with a Benz SL low output cartridge with a Sutherland KC Vibe phono pre. I am now being told by some that the way to go is with a step-up transformer. Maybe a Transimpedance phono pre. Can you offer any suggestions as to how you would proceed?

so much for me to digest. I currently use a Lamm 2.1 deluxe pre. I don't know the gain. I too, don't think I have enough gain on the KC Vibe. Upscale Audio is who suggested the SUT. Coincidently I have a friend who just listened to a Bob's device and he acknowledged quite an improvement. I am waiting to hear from Ron. I will look into other options mentioned above. Sorry I can't get them all individually. thanks |
cartridge is 0.4 mV signal, 12 ohm coil, correct? Gain settings: 40, 45, 50, 55 or 60 dB have you changed the jumpers inside the unit to: gain 60 db (max signal boost) loading 100. (you could also try 200, but start with 100) after those changes: NOT ENOUGH VOLUME? |
"The LL2.1 is a direct replacement for the LL2. Aside from a few new parts and slight changes in the schematic, the most important modification, at least from my perspective, is the introduction of a switch-selectable 15dB gain attenuator. With this switch on, the gain drops from about 18dB to only 3dB." double check the attenuator is not engaged, so you get the 18 db gain, not only 3 db |
