D17karat mk2 internal Re ?

[inertial]

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,

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?

Ha ha ha!!!!!! 🙂

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😎

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,

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.
