Phono Pre Amp Connection

[bluesman]

If it has a line level output (which I believe it does), it goes into a line level input on the Luxman.  The phono input is a direct in for “high output” cartridges (i.e. most moving magnets and the very few “high output” moving coils, which are clearly sold and designated as such).  It’s also usable with “pre-preamp” phono stages that bring the voltage from a normal mc cartridge (which is only microvolts) up to the millivoltage needed to drive the phono stage in your Luxman.

You should be fine with either Gold Note, as both the PH1 and the PH10 accept input from mm and mc cartridges.  If you have the PH1, you'll have to swap cables when you want to use the other arm.  But as I recall, the PH10 has 2 input channels that can be individually set for gain and impedance.

 

I've never seen or heard one, but the reviews are all great and it looks like a solid product.  Please let us know how it sounds and how you like it.

I should have specified that I have the PH 10.  (with the optional outboard power supply.)   Very nice product.  Sounds great and not a budget buster.

 

Then you're truly golden.  Just plug in the two tonearms, set the gain and load to the specified values, and enjoy glorious music!
