Title: seduction gain trouble
Post by: balancedtriode on January 10, 2012, 09:14:04 AM

just finished rebuilding my seduction phono stage, problem is there is very little volume. resistance and voltage checks are fine. I just cant figure out what went wrong. maybe a loose connection? any help and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
thanks,

If voltages are all OK the next thing to check is usually the RIAA equalization components, to see if maybe they have been miswired. That can drastically change the gain. Also make sure you have the proper value resistor across the input, i.e. 47K ohms and not 47 ohms. Don't ask me why I suggest that...

Thanks Doc, I miss-wired the same cap in both channels. It's working now and sounds great!
