D17karat mk2 internal Re ?

inertial · 2nd February 2009, 12:58 PM

Hi all,

Dynavector (17D karat mk2) claims an internal resistance of abou 38 ohms.
Today, looking on Sowters's page i see 10 ohms

Who is right?

Thanks,
Paolo

The one who did not do the typo. Probably the manufacturer in Japan has the better chance to be right? Is there any difference in MKII?

I do not believe big differences, at least from D2 and D3, I do not know
the earlier versions

I was sure Dynavector was claiming right data , but that tabulated have made me a bit doubtful

38 ohm is correct

Thanks Panikos

Do you have measured it?

Only the D3,but its internal resistance is the same as the II

Ok, very precious confirmations for me!

Hei, do you like your karatD3? What turntable do you have ?
Just curious of course, because the karat are our personal reference

Cheers,
Paolo

The one we measured was not mine,but a friend's.In the right system it is very good,if a bit bright/light for my tastes.I am using a Benz LP Ebony on a Thorens TD350/SME M2 and Lukaschek PP1/T9 phono stage.What phono stage are you using?The Karat has its "preferences" on phono stages

I prefer the Karat just for his structural design. The cantilever is only
1,7 mm !!!! Diamond!

I know a lot of people think it sound "thin"but IMO are the others FAT!

Actually a friend of mine has a "horrible" planar 9 with Pass X-ono +
X1 + X-250. Result: the Wadia25 sound better!

Trying to adjust the load of the cartridge make something of positive but is the planar9 that have to go out of the window!

Cheers,
Paolo

You could be right

In any case the karat is a very good and radical design,and at a nice price too.With the right load it is just fine.
