Simplistic NJFET RIAA

[Salas]

Hmmm lets see how it will react with the +5dB. Let us know.

Will report back later...didn't use CloadX. Could this a problem as well?

Put in a Rubycon ZL 1000uF 25V cap that I have on hand and I can now play with normal listening level although I would like it a little louder still .

set the Tamp input sensibility.....

put better input caps -input resitor and input bias resitor

Hi Salas

I recently bought a Sansui FR3060 TT for 25€ and decided to use it with my old DL160.

I connected it to the mighty riaa and stood amazed at the sound it produces. Of course the riaa is not tuned for this cart so the results are not perfect but now I understand why you like this cart. It produces a very fast and detailed sound without distortions.

I believe I will build a second riaa for this cart...

Does not have to do with gain, no.

Exactly.... much better than the JVC I was using as my store TT.

The platter is heavy and the bearing is of the dry teflon kind.

This time I will use Takman resistors instead of the kiwames.

[Salas]

You have a second audio system? Or you will just exchange the front end?

 

[RCruz]

My system at home uses an Ariston RD80 with the Benz ACE Clear and the Salas Riaa.

In my store, in Lisbon, I have a second system where I want to use the Sansui.

I want to sell vinyl in Lisbon

Good idea! Go for it! If I ever pass through Lisbon I'll make sure to get some records from you

 

[RCruz]

Thank you for the support !!

Once I get everything rolling I will send you some invitations to taste our Port Wine

Ricardo

 

[nicoch58]

I will came with some rosso conero wine

 

[iko]

 

[RCruz]

You are very welcome.... I am starting my selling record collection now. (Already have the Port and also some very special red wine)

It will be a good party....

Now back to the riaa... should I use Takman carbon or metal film ?

 

[Salas]

If you feel that the Denon 160 on the Sansui arm and platter tends towards a zingy sound in the transients, use Takman. If by luck sounds tonally neutral but a bit thick, use Dale.

 

[RCruz]

It sounds neutral, without any harshness but a little thin in the bass.

 

[Salas]

It may be the TT and arm signature. In that case use carbon ones again since it is not harsh at least with those you test it right now. Maybe a little fooling around with the VTA and the loading can help too.

Hi,

Does anyone know what TT is the one that appears about 3:25 into the clip, and reappears again latter ?

The one with the removable rim and pivoting horizontal tracking arm
