Cartridges and phono settings

[Jens]

Hi Finn,

If you use a step-up transformer (which one?), normally the transformer output side is designed to be compatible with a standard MM phono input, this means I would set the Devialet phono input to MM, 5mV, High (impedance) and 0 pF (capacity loading). The transformer's input is designed to provide a low impedance loading to the cartridge, when connected to a high-impedance input on the amp.

You can also try to connect your cartridge directly to the Devialet amp without the transformer. If you do that, I would recommend this setting: MC, 600 uV, 60 ohms for your Ortofon cartridge.

Try to play around with it and see which result you like best. Good luck.

Regards, Jens
