Expect 8Hz resonance with your 9.5g effective mass arm and a DL-110. That is for the highest compliance number reported by testers, i.e. they surely combine.
Hi Nick, yes the schematic you provided with one Bd 139 only. The voltage drop is about 1.5V. The structure of the sound remains unchanged but more enhance with less noise levels. Does the quality of the sound affect by the quality of the capacitor?. Also with the graph, the noise reduce with frequency rises with unbroken line but what about the broken line?. Sorry i don't understand that.

Broken line is phase. The second and the third capacitor could be the somewhat influential ones. Did you use the protection diodes?
Hi Nick, yes i do use protection diode. The second cap is just an el cheapo cap 470uf 50V, 3rd cap is philip bc 47uf 63.

Alright Quan. Post us a picture of that new filter thingy when able. You installed it in the supply box or in the phono box, I forgot to ask.
Ok , the second order filter insitu. I will get couple of panasonic fc caps for c2 and 3 if you think it is worthwhile.

The DL 110 works perfectly with the SME3009 Improved (fixed headshell)
in fact one of my favorite combos.
Thank you guys, you are very generous. I'll buy soon this cartridge.
Next step will be Salas's simplistic jfet phono stage. I'll try, first, a point-to-point implementation of this stage. I follow your ideas about superior filtration (beta multiplication) used before the main power supply.

Hi Quan, looks nice. Got my caps, now where are my little green perfboards? Been looking for them for a couple of days.😀
You will need to implement the 43dB FSP configuration as described in its PDF guide notes section. The DL-110 is stronger than the claimed 1.6mV output, signal will be good.
Thanks Nick. I do think every one should try this. I am a novice with p2p but this one is easy enough. Had a guy over today and he was amazed by the FSP and exceptional compare to my reference rig phono which includes ypsilon sut and herron audio VTPH2 . I will get some good caps and try esp with C2 and C3.

Yes . There is sli difference but it is not night and day certainly does not justify the extra money spent😀.
How much would you advise to spend for a cart before the law of diminishing returns kicks in really hard?
I love the combo of Garrad 301/Analog instrument arm/ FSP/modded denon 103-esc stylus retipped &Uwe body. It is so coherent and musical , don't feel that i am missing any thing. Modded denon got to be my favourite and i 've spent 500 aud on that. BTW the denon 103 was given by my cousin with a bent cantilever thus perfect for retip.
