Step Up for Dynavector DV20XL

K&K Audio / Lundahl Transformers

Welcome! Need support, you got it. Or share youe ideas and experiences.

Hi, my phono preamp is a Camelot Lancelot Pro, it has:
29 db gain for MM; 45 to 55db gain for MC (dependent on resistor selection)
I can change the loading on the MC side of phono preamp to 47k, so I guess that I'm starting with 55db of gain.
The cartridge is a Dynavector DV20XL specs are: 0.25mV (at 1KHz, 5cm/sec.)
DC resistance is 5 ohms, Recommended load impedance is 30 ohms
The only thing I can find on my preamp is Signal-to-Noise Ratio: Line Stage >
90dB
No info on gain, it uses two 6CG7/6FQ7 tubes
I find that I have to turn the volume up on my preamp into an area that is getting noisy. And on some LPs it seems to lack impact. On low key jazz the sound is quite good. I need more gain, hopefully resulting in increased dynamics. A knowledgable friend figures that I need at least 26db of gain. I plan on ordering as soon as I know which model I need.
Thank you,
Jeff
