Advice for a newbie re: MC cartridge configurator settings

[f1eng]

Thanks from Canada Brit. That last bit of detail is exactly what I needed. It took me 4 tries using the Config. tool to get everything up and running properly. ( Those multiple stereo/mono settings escaped me as did a few other settings.) One more Config to get the MC right and I'm good to go. More listening today...simply awesome!
Cheers

Hi David,
Did you know that you can change your cartridge settings on the fly? This is useful mainly for tailoring the loading, as a higher value will give you more "air". To do this, when you have the phono input selected, keep pressing the Tone button on the remote until  value you wish to change is highlighted in blue, then use the volume control to adjust the setting. When you are happy with the result, one press of the power button will return you to normal mode.
Welcome to the forum BTW. 

David,

Glad that you are happy with the system. Thanks to Axel for his input - you can also change the RIAA setting, on the fly, as well, but I think, in my system anyway, the 1976 version works best! But you can experiment to your hearts content now that you are up and running.

The other equalisation settings are only appropriate for very old mono LPs, each record company once had slightly different equalisation but most had standardised on RIAA by the 1960s, many earlier.
