Re: Valve PHONO Preamp

Hm, rowuk’s suggestion seems a little complex for a feed from a 75ed.

What about our Nick’s adaptation of the original WAD Phono circuit? Fairly simple and a great performer.

Re: Cranage 2024

I really enjoyed the day, great to meet up with many friends, again sorry we missed Greg.. Yes, I am sorry as well. It is fare to say, getting to bed at 3.30 and up before 8.30 is something I find harder to do as the years go by, so I felt a little subdued. What actually turned me off and sent me t...

Re: Nothing In Particular

In a bizarre hobby-crossover, our-Greg is famous :) In the latest edition (number 300!) of the Royal Enfield club magazine 'The Gun' he's listed as the 2nd ever member of the owners club. There's a feature on the reformation of the RE Owners Club Newsletter based in Bristol 1977. I can't upload sca...

Re: TG "The Loudspeaker" Build (Sort of)

For what it's worth I don't like that egg crate type foam lining. From experiment in the past I find this can suck the life from some of the midrange magic.

Re: RCA Phono Plug Recommendations

It’s been a while since I last used or even built RCA phono interconnects, but when I did, I had very good results with this type. My supplier was different and they used to be half the price! Gold plated versions are available if preferred. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/285075603120?_trkparms=amclksrc...
