Dear AQ4L, It is good to have you back on this forum. Like Raul, I was a bit surprised to read somewhere here that you are happily loading your newly acquired for demo VDH at 20 ohms. You’ve said elsewhere that your phono stage (the Aesthetix Io?) produces 80db of gain and that you also have a Pass XP27 or access to one. Since your phono stages produce so much gain, I gather you are not using a SUT to step up signal voltage from the VDH. This makes me wonder why you’ve chosen to load the VDH at 20 ohms. Every VDH is slightly different from every other VDH, so I don’t know what is the internal impedance of your particular model, but that seems like an excessive load (20 ohms) for any LOMC that has any higher than a 2-ohm internal resistance. How did you arrive at 20 ohms? Have you tried increasing the load R (in other words, reducing the load)?
Mijo, Why would Mussolini, alive or dead, have any reaction to tires on a Ferrari? Ferrari was founded in 1948, and Mussolini was strung upside down and murdered by his own people in 1943. Benito never knew there would be a Ferrari marque, although he may have known Enzo, who was a successful driver in the 30s, before he became Commendatore of his eponymous car company.
