Dear @gmercer : This thread came from 2014 but your question is valid and I'm asking my self why you are asking for the Edison when that 810LP is way way superior unit. First the 810LP is a SS design and a true dual mono fully diferential unit where the Edison is not a true balanced unit but only has an aditional stage for phase inversion that does not makes true balanced unit as the 810LP that has all the balanced advantages in a critical stage as is to handle a cartridge signal. The Edison has another disadvantages as it's its very high output impedance that develops a lost in the high frequency range trhough the IC cable. Edison has 600ohms to 1kohms against the e3xcellent 50ohm output impedance in the 810LP. The are using in its unit. noise levels in the Edison is higher than the noise levels in the 810LP and something that " disturb " me about the Edison is that they do not disclose the unit RIAA inverse eq. deviation and perhaps because is a high one due to the RIAA topology they are using. The 810LP deviation is a low 0.1db. In the other side the Edison is a Hybbrid design with SS and tube devices. The worst place to handle an audio signal is in a phono stage no matters what. So, do it your self a favor and try to find out a second hand 810LP or a current Simaudio phono stage model. https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/simaudio-moon-810lp-phono-preamplifier/ look the sorrounded 810LP system links. Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTION, R. |
