Ugraditus is calling....again. Phono stage?
Now one thing I do not know is what occurs if that ratio is sky high, say 500 to 1 or so?No problemo, Uberwaltz :-) It would be extremely rare for a problem to result from having too high a ratio, and in fact if that were occur it would most likely be the result of a design flaw in one of the components. The only situation I can recall ever being reported in which a problem occurred from having too high a ratio was the one Ralph (Atmasphere) described in his posts dated 8-3-2012 in this thread. And that situation resulted from an unusual combination of circumstances involving a preamp and a power amp, and a marginally stable power supply in the preamp. Barring a design flaw in a component, I wouldn't worry even if the ratio was 10,000 to 1. Best regards, -- Al |
Al As always many thanks for your assistance and clarification. ATM, I am leaning towards the GoldNote as it should work very well into the single ended inputs on my Lyngdorf and I do like all the easily accessible features that do NOT include having to open it up and move jumpers around etc. With all changes being made right at the front panel it is very easy to change gain and loadings near instantly and compare sq before short term memory leaves you questioning if that last change really did make any difference after it takes you 20 minutes or so to complete said change with jumpers. |
