Using a Dynavector XX2MkII on my LP12 .... I get a fair amount of hiss on the phono input. My speakers are quite a tough load for the D200 (PMC 20.26) so the volume on the phono input is around -10db so quite loud.
Anyone else hear/experience the same thing?
Thanks
That is odd IME. I have no hiss at all and my speakers are 109dB/watt so show any tiny shortcoming in the way of hiss or hum, I get none of either even on phono with gain up at 0dB, which would destroy the speakers if I played music at that volume.
I am using an Ortofon A90 and Ortofon T3000 sut into the moving magnet input. The sut is super sensitive to earthing (I have had it decades) but with a simple earth wire to the Devialet earth tag there isn't a whisper of hum.
