Tron Seven Phono

Hi there!

I have a standart Tron Seven Phono from 2006.

I´m am quit happy with it, i think........ I havent tryed others on my current setup, so i dont know "better".
I have read that many others is quit happy with the Tron Phono, so why shuldnt i be?

But i have the past mounth been thinking about what it can and can not. It sounds great with my Lyra Delos, but the Tron is a pluk and play phono. There is NO settings........ So how can i be serten that i get the full out of my cart?

Can any explain me how the Tron Seven Phono works and why it has`nt any setings. Other Phonos are packd with different settings so you can set the recomanded load or any other settings.

That why i`m beginning to questions the Tron Seven Phono..... But do i have any reasent to question it???

Resistive loading is really NOT a big issue when it comes to step up transformers. The bigger concern is the appropriate turn ratio and the amount of gain provided by the step up transformer. If your Tron has the right gain for the Delos, you really shouldn't have to be too concerned about resistive loading. Tron offers several gain options for their built-in step up transformer. For the Delos, as would be the case with MOST MC cartridges other than high output cartridges or very low output cartridges, the appropriate gas is 20 db. If yours is so outfitted, I would not worry at all.

A very good paper to read about gain and loading of step up transforms can be found here:

Moonglum Pierre. There is an easy fix, just earth the motor. Perhaps Thomas will do that to all the Ravens now.

I agree that it is a great table, best I have had and it is taying forever.

Even if there are problems, a company and it's distributors providing that good a service, is reassuring.

How do you earth the motor?

I disagree with this statement. The Delos can sound quite disagreeable without proper loading, at least in my system using SUTs. If you pay attention to transients and timbre you get important differences depending on loading. If you aren't tuned in to acoustic instruments (e.g. good classical recordings) you may not notice this as much.

Pierre1976, Sorry, I did'nt do it, Graham at GT audio did. I think he just took a ground wire from the power input on the motor, to the casing of the motor. Ask Graham at GT Audio, as I have already said, he is very helpful.
Unless you are very good with a soldering iron, it might be better to take it to a professional to do.
