I need more gain out of the phono amp I built and am exploring the SUT route. I have a Dynavector DV20X2H cartridge.
Output 2.8mv
Impedance 150Ω
Recommended load >1000Ω
From the reading I have done and I'll admit I don't have a comfortable amount of understanding but it seems like I would want to increase the output to roughly 5mv to put it on par with most MM carts. What ratio SUT do I want? 1:2?
Then to get my 1000 loading parallel the 47000 with a 5.1k resistor which is divided by 4 the square of my ratio.
These numbers seem a bit extreme. Is the output of my cart too high to use a SUT?
I also posted about raising the gain of my amp. Maybe if thats possible would be a better solution?
