Pass XP-17 and Hana ML loading question


Guys anyone here has any experience with the Pass XP-17 settings for Hana ML?

I just switched form Pass XP-15 to 17 and its totally different animal. 

Just to compare them both with the gain set at 66db and loading 333ohm they act completely different, while 15 gets maximum bottom and fantastic detail 17 sounds great at the top and the midrange but bottom needs improvement.  Would anyone run 47K ohm?

Nice!  I love my XP-22/27 combo as well for their truth telling. I bet the 12/17 combo is 95% of what I get with the fancy schmancy seperate power supply versions. 

All this being said, I'm still surprised that the Hana-Pass combo is so sensitive to loading.

 

@karl_desch I'm hoping that Red will be acting more playable will see I'll. keep you posted Monday since I'm swapping ML for Red these weekend 

I have a Hana ML, which I've had for a few years and used in OL Silver and now The Encounter, loaded - as always - at 47k (well, unloaded). And it sounds fantastic. 

Same here. I've had the cartridge several years and really can't complain. Its effortless with everything I throw at it. 

@lewm 

well since I wrote the question I changed my ML for Unami Red. 

It is still new so I load it at 1000ohms and it sounds great, how ever I did not try to load it 47k yet. I let it running for about maybe 100 hours and later I'll try to lad 47k. Well now I have bigger problem, my gain is set to 67db and my quiet XP17 does generate a little hiss at volume about 70+ db, I can live with that, however I'm picking up some static noise and for now I have no idea where it comes from, not from phono stage, it seam like it happening between the cartridge and single post connectors that are plugged in to XP17. when you unplug them form phono stage you left with hiss form XP17 once you plug it back you hear static noise. Kills me!
