Hi All, I recently signed up for this forum, which I discovered while researching Graham Slee’s phono preamps. I am contemplating an Accession MM for a somewhat unique application. I have one turntable (Clearaudio Concept with an Ortofon 2M black cartridge) which I want to serve as a vinyl front end for two systems: a big rig featuring Dali Helicon floorstanders powered by a Pass Labs amp and a 300B SET integrated amp powering small, highly efficient monitors TBD. My thought is I can wire the variable output from Accession to the Pass Labs amp and the fixed out to the 300B amp. If I want to listen to the big rig, I’ll keep 300B turned off. If I want to listen to the 300B, I will turn the volume pot all the way down (because the Pass Labs amp is always on). So will this work, or not? Will appreciate members thoughts on this. Meanwhile, I am enjoying browsing the forum topics and expect to be weighing in on some of them. Cheers! Dick

Thank you for joining us here, Dick. I haven't tried going direct from my AccMC or AccMM phonos to amps or active speakers so would interested in how you get on. ------------- Jon Open mind and ears whilst owning GSP Genera, Accession M, Accession MC, Elevator EXP, Solo ULDE, Proprius amps, Cusat50 cables, Lautus digital cable, Spatia cables and links, and a Majestic DAC. |

With your Ortofon 2M black cartridge outputting 5.0mV, the Accession MM should produce about 0.595Vrms at full output, that should be able to drive with your amps well. ------------- Bruce AT-14SA, Pickering XV-15, Hana EL, Technics SL-1600MK2, Lautus, Majestic DAC, Technics SH-8055 spectrum analyzer, Eminence Beta8A custom cabs; Proprius & Reflex M or C, Enjoy Life your way! |

| Now that I have had the Accession loaner for a few days, hooked up via the direct outs to a 300B integrated amplifier and the variable outs to a solid state PassLabs amplifier, I can declare a complete success. The sound on both systems is superb. Played through the 300B with small, highly efficient monitors, there is a tremendous separation of instruments and voices, both are tight and articulate, with a wonderful sense of space and depth. Played through the PassLabs with full range speakers, I am hearing bass that I had never heard before. The clarity across the frequency spectrum is astonishing. Two thumbs up! |
