Re: My Niece's First Vinyl System


The journey continues, I've just taken delivery of a PCB and transformer to build an EAR834 phono stage clone, basically the same as this information and build video series.

Re: General health matters.

Radiotracer injection. Old language was Radio Isotopes. Ray will ‘glow’ for a while until he pisses it all out. Not sure about the small pets bit though.

Good luck Ray!

Re: Colin (Toppsy) Rest In Peace

Yes, what a shock. Colin was a great pal and so willing to help out. He did a magic job on my turntable, thank you. Love to Lynn and family. A genuinely nice and kind guy who helped me so much with his advise over the years. Rest in Peace.

Re: Slow Mo MoFo

It’s been a while but in the past I have dealt with Airlink and found them very helpful. They always used to offer a bespoke winding service. If they still do, there might, under your circumstances be a deal you can do.

Re: Speakers

It appears to me that DQ has misunderstood how to wire speakers in series. A Google search in images for schematic of series wired loudspeakers should be very helpful. Refer back to DQ’s original question and Nick’s response. Assuming his diagram shows from the top, tweeter, midrange, woofer and ...

Re: My Niece's First Vinyl System


In other news, yesterday I got her a first system upgrade - I bought a Thorens TD-150 on Ebay for just £75. The Thorens is in working order and looks to be in pretty good condition, but I'll strip it down and give it a complete service and I think it'll scrub up nicely and be a good improvement on ...

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 ...
