    Technics SL1500 phono stage connection

    the old turntables have a high output MM cartridge, no need for pre-amplifiers and the impedance is selected on the phono input ,in aux.line is connected to a pre-amp having not the clear and capacity of the cartridge itself, No?distortion for what i understood is when a pre-amplifier is...

    Technics SL1500 phono stage connection

    Thank you and i was thinking of microvolts as in old manuals , got confused ,normally i thought the voltage was to a minimum value as it´s impedance is directelly related, the distortion part got me confused is it the voltage from the pre-ampliffier or when connected to a aux line on the...

    Technics SL1500 phono stage connection

    i didn´t knew it could go up to half a volt of power , thought it were milivolts but it depends on the line, i´m also not used to have a turntable connected to the aux. line or input line but the Phono input, normally a built for it input with diferent impedance , 47.000 Ohms are the usual on...

    Question Updating my amp

    i think if the amplifier is good could be restored or upgraded the speakers is the only thing i would spend money in, as it appears lot´s of better speakers since you bought your last but also not so linear if your speakers have top specifications , why change them ,only you can evaluate if it...

    Technics SL1500 phono stage connection

    i believe when the phono stage in amplifiers and really expensive ones had a good or more than one good phono stage ,this new are a product of reducing productions costs, one as a amplifier or control aqmplifier with two independent phono inputs and in some even a litle volume knob more seen...

    Technics SL1500 phono stage connection

    well it´s a good way to connect it, is there any better, don´t say balanced XRL cables, it´s a turntable not a studio or outdoors mixing board, the litle ground wire would solve a problem to new turntables or record spiners owners all over the world,i know how the earth connection is made but...

    Technics SL1500 phono stage connection

    I think it´s the reverse, not so well built ancient technology compared to second half of the 70´s general turntable technology and there a lot better from 72 at least, that i know of, direct drive in newer turntables as a lot worst engines and still to come acurate direct drive quartz engines...

    What to understand before floorstanding speakers purchase?

    i is nonsense after telling here that specifications show nothing, what are you talking about? wasn´t refering to the same but sensivety level in db´s and frequency response of the speaker, or limit in lows and high´s , and you refer 1khertz at -3db´s , you have no clue about what was...

    What to understand before floorstanding speakers purchase?

    so you say everybody understands what´s written in the specifications and i was thinking that almost no one follows electricity or electronics , even i that started to buy speakers in the 80´s sometimes i get confused by the scale being used now or like the sensivety in db´s very low to what it...

    What to understand before floorstanding speakers purchase?

    the ones who can reproduce high´s the more far from the 1khertz frequency, as far it reproduces the high´s the less you feel them hurting our hearing also the range of sound can make them sound softer, like class A amplifiers , the real good ones or built in the 70´s
