With a transimpedance gain stage, the input signal is read off the current, and the output signal is transmitted by the voltage. A result of this approach is that loading settings are not needed--your cartridge will see a load of 0 Ohm, and the input signal is the current that the cartridge produces into that virtual short.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat this means of course, is that every detail of the music is preserved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSimilarly, gain settings usually do not have to be changed--the Little Loco comes set to medium gain, but removable resistor boards allow the gain to be set to high or low. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComes with a 5-year transferable warranty on parts and labor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (WHD):\u003c\/strong\u003e 17\" x 2\" x 13\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"richp\"\u003e\u003c!-- x-tinymce\/html --\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 lb \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sutherland","offers":[{"title":"Silver","offer_id":52306073092280,"sku":"LLOCOMK2-SIL","price":4300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":52306073059512,"sku":"LLOCOMK2-BLK","price":4400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1564\/1247\/files\/Sutherland__LittleLOCO-Mk2-View1_jpg.webp?v=1763678388","url":"https:\/\/upscaleaudio.pro\/products\/sutherland-little-loco-mk-2-phonostage","provider":"Upscale Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
