RE: Tweeter difference problem with 3.3Rs and more


The wires in a twisted pair must be hot and ground/negative otherwise you do not get the noise rejection effect and risk inducing crosstalk. I put the two pairs in parallel 5-6 mm apart.
Re Melos 333 The one on Head Fi was broken and missing a power supply, but had the ad had the best pictures in it. It is terrific and a great buy up to a grand sterling. While the Audible illusions in stock form can’t come close to the Melos, which is also 20 years younger, once the Dual Mono was recapped with more modern polyprop caps, repotted, rewired, and had new hardware put on, it is competitive with the Melos on MMs. The Melos, however, has 50 odd db of gain and is quieter. The two phono stages differ a little in presentations as the Melos prefers a wide soundstage over deep while the Audible Illusions has a deeper balance. They are both dynamic, extended, dimensional and full sounding, giving up only the slightest amount of detail.
Using the OC-9 which has 0.4 mV there was no problem with the Melos, and it was VERY LOUD with the Dayton Wright and the Audible Illusions. So I think all of the step-ups will work fine.
