I am running an ortofon silver meister on a Thorens TD-124. I have a Fosgate signature phono pre and am wondering what type of SUT I should use with this set up. I do not think I am getting the most out of the Ortofon at this stage.
Cartridge loading from 100 ohms to 100k ohms -- with stops at 300, 500, 1k and 47k ohms in between -- when I try to switch different loads with the knob there is no discernible difference at all as to sound. Maybe I am looking at this all wrong,shouldnt I be able to hear sonic differences as I move through various loads?
You can look up your cartridge specs on vinyl engine it says your carts output impedence is 6ohms.
Good 2nd hand step ups are Denon AU340, this has a 3 ohm setting and a 40 ohm setting for Denon 103 series cartridges. The 3 ohm setting would be ok, A U-Bros 5 (L) would be very nice in your price range. For more selections you could get a Ortofon T-30 but i have never tried one.
