Howdy!
I just received an SP14 and got it set up. The line stage sounds amazing. The phono stage sounds like everything above 10khz is rolled off. Speakers are under MANY blankets sonically
I tried swapping 2 different tubes in, and it didn't help. I'm wondering if the cartridge loading resistors got swapped at some point. I'm using a 2M Bronze with the following specs -
Internal impedance, DC resistance - 1,2 kOhm
Internal inductance - 630 mH
Recommended load resistance - 47 kOhm
Recommended load capacitance - 150-300 pF
I took a picture of the section of the board where you can replace/add resistors to change the cartridge loading. I think if I remove the ones seen in this picture, the stock/factory load is 47k.
Can someone confirm/deny this for me?
