Re: More questions

Hi,

I've been looking at the various hookup schemes in the PDF for the 9206. If I understand this correctly, it is recommended to keep the secondary windings in series (which will keep the secondary resistance at 790 ohms) and never to connect them in parallel (giving 200 ohms secondary resistance). The gain should be adjusted by series/parallel connections of the primary windings. Is that correct?

Also, even though there are two sets of coils on the transformer, I can't use them as left and right channels, I need a pair of 9206 transformers for stereo, right? I'm sure this is a pretty silly question, but this is my first foray onto low output MC cartridges and DIY phono stages, so please bear with me :)

And the last question for tonight :) How can I mount these transformers? I see the PCBs on your website, so putting the transformers on those and then putting them on standoffs is one simple solution. Is there any way to mount the transformers without using PCBs? Is the pin spacing standard, i.e. can I use a generic Radio Shack PCB or perfboard to mount them? I think I'd prefer to wire them point-to-point instead of having my weakest audio signal go through a PCB trace, so I'd use the PCB/perfboard only for mechanical support.

Thanks,
Saurav
