| Luxman EQ-500 Hmm, my math was off a bit yesterday...must have been the wine! ; ) Yes, there is a 19db difference between the MM and MC levels on the dial. Can't say much though if the ratios are correct or not.Also, I can't say much about using an outboard SUT... | |
| Luxman EQ-500 Unfortunately, the Luxman is not the most intuitive phono stage when it comes to operating it. The gain settings that are on the front panel relate to MM. The manual and the reviews show that in moving coil mode, the gain level starts at 55 db, co... | |
| Luxman EQ-500 I have not tried any outboard SUTs, since I really don't have any more room on my rack for anything else, plus I don't want to spend any more money. I use the MC high loading and highest gain setting of 59 db, which is fine with my Kiseki PH NS ... | |
| Luxman EQ-500 I recently purchased a Luxman EQ 500 and it is outstanding! Coming from a Tavish Design Adagio (with upgraded transformers) which is no slouch, the Lux plays at another level or two, and it should since it is quite a bit more expensive. It is v... | |
| Phono stage recommendations Thanks lalitk. Yes, there is a synergy with the C-900u and having a tube phono stage! Enjoy your Eat Glo! | |
| Phono stage recommendations Well I bought a Luxman EQ 500 and it is outstanding! Coming from a Tavish Design Adagio (with upgraded transformers) which is no slouch, the Lux plays at another level, and it should since it is quite a bit more expensive. It is very powerful and ... | |

| Phonostage recommendations under $3K I am hoping to receive the Lux within the next 7-10 days. | |
| Phonostage recommendations under $3K The Luxman EQ 500! : ) | |
| Phonostage recommendations under $3K Good luck getting a Luxman EQ 500 for under $3K! | |
| Phonostage recommendations under $3K I owned a Herron VTPH A for a bit. And while I thought it was great for classical and jazz, I felt that it lacked "pop" or sufficient transient response for rock. (Perhaps Keith Heron's training in classical music made for that difference?) I ende... | |
| Phonostage recommendations under $3K Check out the Tavish Design Adagio and you can roll tubes to get the degree of warmth you want. The only downside is that there is a 5-6 week wait for them, but occasionally, a used one will pop up for sale. : ) | |
| Phono stage recommendations Smatsui - I am envious that you have those two phono stages and two systems! Also, I am curious as to which MC setting you use with the Apheta 3? I assume that you are using the MC low setting?Yes, the Lux build quality is outstanding and would l... | |
| Mag-Lev Turntables "The use of the new 3-phase motor in this package, combined with the mounting of the motor to the cabinet instead of the sub-chassis, as well as noise floor improvements from the new mag-lev platter assembly, yields a new Cosmos that is significan... | |
| Mag-Lev Turntables Interesting read! The SOTA Cosmos Eclipse uses a Mag-Lev plater and I was seriously contemplating getting one until now. https://sotaturntables.com/products/cosmos-eclipse/"Platter FixtureStainless Steel shaft, machined sintered bronze sleeves han... |
