Holmz Posted April 1, 2022 Author Share Posted April 1, 2022 Well the new (used) phono stage came in today. Huriedly; I put it in place… and it was pretty grainy. (Which make sense with a SUT and something like 1k MC loading - but using a HO-MM. So I then yanked the lid off, and flipped the jumpers into place. A whole lot more gain than the ARC! (but it should be 8 dB less… 34 vs 42dB) (And a whole lot less gain, grain, and FR problems than with the SUT.) And the bass and vocals are improved, and a whole lot more. However the old ARC OH2 was balanced in/out with a Jerry rigged set of RCAs, which may explain some the apparent gain? it cost way to much, and simultaneously worth every franc. There is no way to A/B test it, but it is not a very subtle change. It was good before, but now it is jumped up a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmz Posted April 1, 2022 Author Share Posted April 1, 2022 (edited) Holy …. ! That “Muddy Waters at Newport” (1960) . It pretty stunning. Even I can tell it is not a mono recording. Edited April 1, 2022 by Holmz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmz Posted April 2, 2022 Author Share Posted April 2, 2022 Still a bit of a mess, but it is all ticketybo sounding. Luckily I had some short DIY interconnects made up, and on hand. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmz Posted April 3, 2022 Author Share Posted April 3, 2022 Speaking of peckish, I need to “grab a feed” on the way to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
