My insight is scheduled to arrive tomorrow and was hoping for guidance on gain and load settings for my A/T oc9xml cartridge.
I’d start with 60dB and 100 ohms. Thats around where I have that cart. You can experiment with the loading if you like but I’d probably keep the gain at 60.

Also feel free to experiment with 200 ohm and 1000 ohm loading - it hurts nothing to do so.

Thanks for the advice.

This thing is insane it’s as obvious a difference as going from a MM to MC cartridge. Halfway into the first track of “feats don’t fail me now” the album I’ve spun the most over the last couple months and it was obvious.

Happy to hear that it’s working out for you!

I really can't say enough about the Phono Loco.
Considering a trade up from my Zephyr MIMC Star to the Paua, anyone having done the same have anything to add?

I have the Paua and love it however it's the only Soundsmith cart I've ever run so I don't have any point of comparison. I will say that you're going to want at least 50 hours of run in before any serious listening, it changes a lot.

Last night I went to play a record and I'm only getting sound out of my left speaker. All other sources work fine, just didn't have the energy to tackle it.
Working OT, maybe this weekend.

You can try inexpensive inline high pass filters like these.
Harrison Labs FMOD Inline Crossover Pair 30 Hz High Pass RCA
I’ve got my eye on the KAB one. Gonna try isolation first as I think that might help. (long story but had to return a BBA platform a few months back so re-acquiring one, on its way)

I think earlier in this thread another member successfully used the KAB filter with his 20/20.
Edit: It was actually in a different thread.
Sutherland 20/20 Load and Gain Settings
I have heard of it before and have read about other users using it on different forums. It’s what I would recommend if the inline filters help with the shaking but restrict the sound of the 20/20. Frankly, although I love Sutherland products, if I needed a LF filter to make my system work...

This actually got me wondering if I was getting any subsonic rumble on my own system, but I can't say I noticed anything.

Woofer pumping is usually the biggest indicator.

Yeah, I popped off my grilles and played records for a bit, didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary. I’ll do more testing later.
