Everyone should use a 401 and a Viv!
Thanks so much for the offers of loans and ideas on what might work.
Cheers
Viv are too short and cant work, any fule no dat.
What would work best with the Hana SL? A 1-10 ratio?
SL has impedance of 30 ohms.
rule of thumb is 3-10x the carts internal impedance, hana SL is 0.5mV so it depends on your phono stage input sensitivity but a 100 Ohm 1:10 SUT should be ok.
I have the Puresound P20 not sure of the sensitivity but Guy did tell me it has a bit more gain than the P10.
I think the SL does want to see 400-500 Ohms so 1:10 works well.
That said I’ve used one into 1:18 & it hasn’t flattened it. It would give a larger output output though so a SS mm phono stage might not like it. A valve stage ought to be ok.
I have found that with my T10 the 1-18 ratio seems to work well with both my ML and SL, the gain with the ML appears to be a bit higher.
Interesting but at some point soon I may have the opportunity to to try out the music first 632 1-10 .
I have heard it with the Unami red at a friend’s house and it sounds excellent.
The SL does have a more romantic slightly softer sound but I’d like to try it with a 1-10 music first.
If I like it I’ll probably keep both as I run two decks, the Voyd with the ML and the Genesis with the SL.
