Post Subject: Finding space for my 'second' phonocorrector.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 12/14/2006

I spent today a couple hours trying to resolve a quantity with my analog setup. As you remember in the mid of this thread:

I was proud that I eventually found a good configuration for my Micro-Seiki Double Deck TT. However, I had no space for a second phonostage on the upper deck and to run all cartridge cables to lower deck was not that I would like to do.  Since I am contemplation now a “final” second phonostage that would be able to run all my 5 arms I really wanted to locate it as close as possible to TT. However, since the corrector it will be around vacuum capacitors and it will be quite large for two stages deign the quantity was to find an extra space on my top shelf, with the reach of tonearms cables. After a few hours of mingling with various configurations I came across the following:

I like what I got a lot. My main reference arm with its reference corrector is unaffected and on left from my main phonocorrector there is plenty of space to put a lager “second” phonostage for the rest of the arms. Now, since the space for the second phonostage is not a factor I might go crazy and come up with something “pushy” – who know, perhaps with its 80dB on two stages it will be able to “violate” the sound of the “first phonostage”…
