| I'm new to Step Up Transformers Thanks for this very educational discussion! | |
| I'm new to Step Up Transformers My Zestos offers only 2 load settings that are in the range to suit the Paua (minimum recommended setting of 470 ohms): 400 or 1000 ohms. I have set it at 1000 at the moment but it requires more listening. | |
| I'm new to Step Up Transformers Thanks so much Atmasphere. The Zestos has Jensens (I'm told) in the MC channels. That's great info about SUTs. | |
| I'm new to Step Up Transformers I did not try the lower of the gain settings on the MC channel because I assumed that it would be too low. But I guess it's as easy as flicking a switch to see what happens. I should have thought of that. Duhhh | |
| I'm new to Step Up Transformers My mistake - I definitely have the PS-1. The setting I settled on was 200 ohm I believe. | |
| I'm new to Step Up Transformers The Zestos model I have is the PS-1 (bottom photo). I did experiment when I got the cart (2 weeks ago) and found 1000 ohms to be too bright and thin. I believe I ended up at 800 ohms (at least for now) and that setting gave a nice airy high ... | |
| I'm new to Step Up Transformers Yes, it's a moving iron but a very low output, similar to a low output Moving Coil. | |
| I'm new to Step Up Transformers My vinyl setup is a VPI Scoutmaster II table with a Soundsmith Paua MkII cart. I had a MM cart before so this is the first time I've used the Low Gain MC circuit in my Zestos. | |
| I'm new to Step Up Transformers Great info and advice! Thanks so much. | |
| I'm new to Step Up Transformers Thanks for all the responses - it's great to have access to all the experience out there. My Zestos does have a MC section - it has settings for Low Gain or High Gain. My confusion was because a friend with the same phono preamp as mine... | |
| Emerald Physics KCIIs or Spatial M3 Turbo S? That's very interesting. Thanks. | |
| Best speakers for max. $3000? Thanks so much for all of the information and taking the time to respond! I tried the Thiels but they seemed a bit harsh with my amp at least. I have a line on a set of SpatialM3 Turbo S speakers which seem to be loved by many. Got some think... | |
| Best speakers for max. $3000? This is an insane hobby but such a fun one! | |
| Best speakers for max. $3000? Many thanks for all the opinions! I've really only heard a few speakers so I am glad to hear from all of you who have experienced other types. | |
| Best speakers for max. $3000? Oh, I use a HSU sub and also a cheaper Triangle Tales 340 sub. |
