Questions & Answers
How do you set the right gain and impedance for different cartridges?
The AT8000 features three banks of dip switches on the bottom of the circuit board. Two banks control the resistance for the left and right channels separately, while the third bank adjusts the gain via six switches (three per channel). Refer to the manual for specific settings for each cartridge.
Is the AT8000 compatible with both MM and MC cartridges?Yes, the AT8000 is designed for both Moving Magnet (MM) and Moving Coil (MC) cartridges and offers extensive adjustment capabilities for both types.
What connections does the AT8000 offer for signal output?The AT8000 is equipped with both RCA (cinch) and XLR (balanced) outputs, allowing flexibility in connection to different amplifiers.
How does the tube in the output stage affect the sound of the AT8000?The tube in the output stage contributes to a warm and musical reproduction, which is characteristic of Astin Trew’s sound philosophy.
Are there any specific recommendations for placement of the AT8000 to minimize interference?It is recommended that the AT8000 be placed on a stable, vibration-free surface away from strong electromagnetic fields to ensure optimal performance.
How can the AT8000 be integrated into an existing hi-fi system?Thanks to the RCA and XLR outputs, the AT8000 can be easily connected to the line inputs of an integrated amplifier or preamplifier.
Is it possible to use the AT8000 with a headphone amplifier?Yes, by connecting the AT8000 to a headphone amplifier via the line outputs, vinyl playback through headphones can be achieved.
