Audia flight protection mode

Well the new Audia Flight arrived today. Wow!! It's supposed to need several hundred hours run in. I can't imagine what can get better than this? I am now officially in audio Nirvana, the Ayre MXR and KXR are run in and the Audia flight is the Cherry on top.
This one works perfectly, can't imagine what is still to come. The Sim Audio, while brilliant is no mach for this. Great dealer! Thanks GrooveWorks.

Dinster, glad to hear that your AF is back and running great. I also purchased mine used and worry about repairs in the future if needed. So far it sounds great. I leave it in standby mode so I don't have to reach around the back of the power supply to keep turning it on and off. Mine takes about 2 minutes to power up, go from blinking to solid LED. It seems like a long time to put on the first record but it is worth it once I start playing. I don't know if you have an upgraded PC to your AF, but I do notice an improvement with one. I also use RCA output since I already had the cable. Best of luck with your repaired AF.

Now after 2 months audiophillia nervosa sets in:) What loading do you use with MC cartridges. There are "bizarre" loadings built into the Audia Flight. 6 between 0 and 100 Ohm, and then a huge gap to 900 Ohm. Currently I am running an Atlas at 100 Ohm loading, didn't like it that much at 900, is it worth trying resistors for values between 100 and 900? The 900 Ohm seemed to suck the life out of the music, didn't try it for very long. My cable from headshell to phono has a 80pF capacitance. The sound is just sublime, but .... maybe it could be better?

Stay within recommended loading ranges. capacitance is no matter for MC. 100Ohms is reasonable for most MC and for the rest of sound perfection you can experient with VTA, VTF

I have a flight to review but no manual. Hoping to get photo of the page of the manual that explains the loading jumper logic
