Ortofon Per Windfeld Load Impedance?

Oops sorry, I meant classic ECC 83 ...

Hi Ralph,

You mentioned it was easy to do above, would you mind going into more detail? I started a new topic called How do you know what to damp? and it would probably be best to post the method there.

thanks

Another obtuse response Z and devoid of contributory value.

You've not addressed any of the issues.

Again.

Raul knows the material well in discussion here. As I do. As Ralph does. If that's "2 (or 3) peas in a pod" I consider it a compliment.

How's that white paper coming along?

Still waiting for that white paper Z.

Jloveys,

I did not get a chance to hear the Tron 7 in my own system, but in my friend's system, I got to hear it with two different sets of 12AX7s. I did not find the Mullards too lean, as you found them, but, they were extremely phasey sounding, particularly so with reproducing the piano. It was so phasey sounding that it almost sounded like the phasing of the two channels was off (except the center information was reasonably coherent).

I much preferred the Amperex Bugle Boys that were substituted for the Mullards. My friend thought that Telefunken 12AX7/EEC83 was a bit too lean in his setup. I did not get to hear that tube, nor some of the substitutions he tried with the other tubes in the unit.

With the Amperex, I thought that this was a very good phono stage -- musical, reasonably dynamic, and dead quiet (my friend's speakers are 105 db/w efficient so noise is easy to hear).
