For carb cleaning I've always used lighter gas (butane)- if you can still get the one with all the various fittings in the cap you'll find one that fits the hole you want to squirt it into. It doesn't all evaporate on its way through so you get a good indication of whether you've hit a blockage or n...

I am coming across more Western Digital failures these days so have decided to stick with Seagate for the moment.

I've just started using a V15VxMR and am rather enjoying it - much more 3D than the DNM (Golding 1042 with knobs on) I have had most recently. I don't get Graeme's brittle or harsh but then it is in a SME 3009 which is reputedly a little soft itself. I find it very fast and very deep (Hz-wise and st...

Noisy, unusable phonostage
Hi all, A while ago I scratch built a Hagerman Cornet valve phono stage. It turned out to be very musical while having a bit of a mains hum that was not just about audible when not actually playing music. This was with a MM cartridge with a healthy 6mV output.

If there's nothing obviously wrong with your wiring then I would go back to the static theory. I have a pair of shoes I daren't use if I'm driving. The static shocks I get closing the door after getting out are just like a stab of mains. If I'm lucky i'll see the blue spark as well! To quote Mr Spoc...

I had the same problem. I was beginning to doubt my ears! Annoying isn't it. So I stuck my DVM across the speaker terminals. Set to measure vAC on a track that had a reasonably consistent volume I was able to take a rough peak level reading on one side then repeat in the other side. I now know I can...
