The system : Garrard 301, SME 309 & AT-440MLb. Yamaha A-S2100 amp.
The problem: Whilst I am (truly) delighted with my recent purchase of the Yammy amp, it's full MM loading specs are unknown to me, beyond being the standard 47K. Zero complaints through the line stage, and the sound is so very close to how I want it on vinyl too, it's just a tad too bright (the midrange & bass are absolutely exemplary however).
I have a pair of those special phono plugs that can take inline phonos, so in theory I am thinking I could add, say, a 100K resistor into a plug-in phono, and that should parallel with the existing internal 47K load of the amp to give me around 33K, which might tame the treble. Does this sound viable, or should I try adding capacitance instead?
Cheers,
John.
