In Reply to: RE: Questions about the TU-875 posted by strieb on July 29, 2008 at 18:47:33
Hi striebHere is the spec of TU-875
a. Max output (1kHz, THD2%) :Pre-out 22V, REC-OUT(in Phono):13V
b. Alps potc. the left knob controls left/right balance. Press the knob to change the input
Thanks

Thanks Victor. Glad to hear that the pot is an Alps. The push selector — fine by me. But, I am not any clearer about the output impedance issue. If it were not stated as an Ohmeric value, wouldn't I still need a output current value as well in order to know the impedance?
Perhaps I am missing something here, but I am not aware of what that could be. In order to try and match components — even in ballpark terms — I think we want to know impedance values. If someone has a TU-875, perhaps they could meter it for me and write it up here on the forum.
I think that you had better be prepared for more questions like this one to come along in the future. As a distributer of these kits, potential customers are going to expect information and guidance. — Lorne

The ST-70 has very high input impedance, around 470k. You could likely run a cap coupled 12AX7 preamp into the thing, so I wouldn't be too worried. By the way, what kind of tubes does this unit run?

Reviving this old thread to ask, in my turn, about the output impedance of the TU-875. I am contemplating one for driving a pair of ATC SCM-100 active speakers (power amp input impedance: 10 Kohm, sensitivity: 1V). I would have to terminate interconnects to XLRs for the balanced power amps. Any views on this match most welcome!
Regarding your question, I consulted Mr.Fujita (the designer of TU-875) and he says that although he has not checked the output impedance of TU-875, 10kohm of impedance is normal and should be no problem to use it with TU-875.
Hope this answers the question
Thanks

Unfortunately we have not measured the output impedance of TU-875, but it is estimated to be several hundred ohms. If the input resistance/impedance of Dynaco ST-70 is higher than 10kohm, then it should be acceptable to use it with TU-875. I am using TU-875 to drive my Audio Research VS-55 and VT-100 with very good results.
Victor: Thanks for your prompt and forthright reply.The preamp that was originally designed to complement the ST-70 was the Dynaco Pas 2 /3 series. Two R's in the Pas are in parallel with the input impedance of the ST-70 ... thus ... R1 (62K) + R2 (510K) + R3 (470K) in // equals a load of (nominally) 50K Ohms.
Perhaps the best way to procede goes like this: build the TU preamp. Then meter the output impedance. In accordance with whatever the result may be, the assembler can do adjustments by adding in R's — either in series or in parallel so as to bring the TU close to presenting a load that is a tenth of the input impedance of whatever amp is being used. AFAIK, a 10:1 ratio is the usual target. Cheers ... Lorne
