In Reply to: musical fidelity x-10 - can anybody explain to an electronics novice what this thing does? posted by hukkfinn on March 4, 2007 at 18:03:18:
It may not have an impact on some sources. But my tubed RIAA really soundes better(louder and more snap and punch) when working into a high impedance than a low one. I use 10-xv3 between my RIAA and preamp. Both are tubed.
I am happy with my X-10, as it allows my RIAA to work into 500kohm instead of 35kohm, the sound really improves when impedances reaches 100K and above.. (I tested many impedances with a breadboarded FET buffer also)Besides this the 10-xv3 can drive longer cables with higher capacitance than my RIAA/Preamp (..and other) does. With my SS CD player X10-V3 had much less effect, apart from 1 db added loudness.
The distortion from the X-10V3 is much less than my RIAA/preamp so I do not thing coloration from distortion is any issue with X-10V3
I belive the X-10V3 buffer is similar to the output stage use in some MF high class CD players.
Best regards
