Zyx Airy 3 Cartridge into Herron VTPH-1 Phono..

Thanks again all..
leaving in the 47Kohm resistors..

Do you have the the MM or MC version of the Herron? The MC version will have a small circuit board connected to the input jacks. This board will have tag posts to connect the resistors. I question if the MM version has sufficient gain for a .24mv cartridge.

I do have the MC+ version Herron, so .24 is fine..

I put in the 100 ohm resistors and the sound has literally come alive. It sounds great.

Conclusion: don't leave it at 47kohms - add the proper load resistors for the cartridge.

Thanks to all,
Joe
