Hi Rowuk,


Thanks for reply, I use step up transformers, old Partridge 1:12 I think they are model 973B if memory serves me correctly. I haven't installed the ART7 yet. I currently use another AT cartridge - 33ptg ii which is a more "normal" output of circa .3mv... The gain from the combination of Partridge + 834 at present is just right for me, when I switch to the ART 7 I may have to go for a higher ratio.. Maybe 1:20 such as S&B or the Silk models from Sac Thailand.. And of course there are others.. But back to my original question as to whether the removal of V2 cathode bypass capacitor will reduce overall gain of the stage? 


Cheers


Terry
