Q about Silk 600ohm LCR

DIY HiFi Forum

Hi Brian,

There's a thread over at TubeDIY on using the Silk 600LCR in a project. In the thread, there's a post recounting some correspondence with Kittipol at SACThailand, in which Kittipol seems to be saying that the 600ohm LCR module only works as intended when used with a 600ohm input impedence -- he appears to suggest that loading the module with 600ohms and using whatever source will drive 600ohms is not an option.

That's counter to just about everything I've read about LCR modules -- either a 600ohm source or a 600ohm load would suffice. I had thought that terminating with 600ohm would be preferred from a technical standpoint, even, as tube aging would no longer be a concern.

Could you provide a bit of clarity? I could simply be misreading his comments, but I'd like the opinion of someone who knows what's what.

Regards,
John
