Picked up a couple more today. Got the soundtrack to the 80s kids film labyrinth (Christmas present for the Missus as its still one of her favourite films) 13 quid Adam and the ants - prince charming (a piss take because she doesn't like Adam and the ants) a quid. Adam and the ants - kings of the wi...

Cool, same power amp circuit as the original 70s versions?
I've got a couple of 10k tocos cosmos pots, I still like them too, the channel matching is crap on them (think it was that particular value) so I bought a load of them and used 2 of them as mono ones.

Yes eventually, had to shim it to alter the neck angle enough and take the string guide out at the top of the neck then add a little sliver of wood to pack it up a little higher

im putting my lenco up for sale as i have plans for the new year to build another one incorporating some new ideas i have. I built it as a demonstrator initially, and have used it as a test bed for new ideas and upgrades, and to develop the arm i was working on. amongst other things, it has a comple...

OK so I've opened up the TX case, there are no caps at all in there. It's just the TX itsself. It's a toroid, and have had a really good look over it and there appears to be no damage, all the rubber mounting washers are there, all connections in and out are insulated properly too, so there doesn't ...

Curiouser and curiouser. The Cole phono stage has just tripped the breaker on my balanced mains unit. I built it following our ali's advice to fit the double pole breaker on the secondary side.

Oh dear... The 3009 needs a rewire.....
Thought I could just get away with doing a phono socket conversion, but the blue wire has a break in it somewhere. Piggin ell. At least it's a fairly easy job with one of these

John Coltrane - a love supreme, got it from hmv today, an impulse reissue that I couldn't pass up for a tenner on sale

Had an odd couple of problems on tuesday with the system. Suddenly a load of hum, loads of odd buzzing regardless of input selected, and a seemingly knackered dynavector dv20a2. I was most purterbed. I'd pulled the preamp out to test a build I'd just finished, and after this tested fine put the usua...
