I am certain that the Analog Bridge would take your system right where you want it to. It is best used in all SS systems, like yours. It is extremely quiet, very low distortion (THD < .005%) and frequency response that is -1dB at 150Khz. It doesn't harm the signal in any way, and does add the...
In the case of the ModWright PH 9.0X, the MC gain is 64dB and MM gain is 52dB. I do not believe that sound would necessarily be better using a SUT into the MM input, but it will allow you then to run two MC carts into the PH 9.0X.
That is really fantastic. I agree that the T upgrade, adding Tube rectification is huge! Just about all of our tube designs sound better with tube rectification.
I am so pleased that you enjoyed Vinyl in our room! We had brilliant analog sound with SME TT and Ortofon Cadenza Black cartridge and ModWright PH 9.0X phono stage!
It is hard to say for sure what causes this, but I am sure we can all say that we have the same experience. It is all very subjective of course and there are factors in our ears that we also possibly don't realize. I suspect it has more to do with AC mains power quality than anything else. I...
I am very pleased to hear that you are enjoying the LS 300. It is our Reference Preamp and I feel that its tonal balanced and resolution are right! The LS 99 is the little brother to the LS 300 and is very close sonically, except for not being dual-mono and is built in a more compact enclosure...
I realize that this thread is about other elements in the analog realm, but I wanted to thank you for being a ModWright customer and I am happy to hear that you are enjoying the ModWright PH 9.0XT!
The Elyse DAC is a great design and there are not many out there. As to vinyl vs digital, they are different experiences in my opinion. For years, I feel that Digital strove to reach the performance of Analog. Many will argue that it has, and some will say it surpasses digital. When doing a...
The 'correct' loading is that which sounds best to you! There are a number of technical factors going on with loading, but the important part is how they result sonically. I designed the PH 9.0 to allow for on-the-fly loading, because there are times when a particular album sounds better at a...
