Question lang sana sa mga tt users here. Just hooked up my first TT to my 818 via its phono in. Using Direct mode to listen to it. My question is audio seems lower when compared to using the 818 for movies or usb flac playback. Right now its at -20db when normally at -32 malakas na for movies... Am i doing something wrong here?

Sir what cart are you using mm or mc? Low output or high output?

resident_evil · « **Reply #2 on:** Jun 27, 2013 at 10:41 PM »

Mangboy is right. Depends on your cartridge and phono preamp. If it is MM, check that it is properly installed. If its a low output MC, you might need a step up transformer.

In my experience, phono usually has a lower gain than cd.

pangit talaga phono ng onkyo avr. marantz avr lang ang decent. just buy a dedicated int amp for your tt boss.

I agree especially if you don't use a dedicated outboard phono preamp.

Meron ako for sale ProJect Tube Box II for MM and MC cartridges. Kasama na tubes. Hehe.

Nothing wrong sir talaga lang mahirap i drive ang TT except high output cart but usually ako din using my power/preamp pag disc 10 o clock lang nasigaw na pero pag phono ang 10 o clock bitin na bitin pa sabi nila it is because of the cartridge amplification just imagine tiny needle transduce sound from vinyl going to your amp the going again to speaker parang you need more power to make it loud because of the process IMO. Iam sure a lot TT expert here can explain the science he he he.....

Hehe. Malay natin ibenta ko ng patapon di ba. Anyway, Dollarman, if you really want to get the most out of your TT, I suggest auditioning some phono stages or getting an integrated with built in phono. What speakers are you using?
