I'm sure he will be happy and hope I didn't over-hype it. Did you chat pre-amps?

There is a version of the Garrard Zero 100 designated Zero 100C. C for counter. I have one but managed to f***up the counter some years ago while trying to reset it. So just a plain Zero 100 now. From Vinyl Engine: The Zero 100C has an automatic record counter built into the pickup arm...

I'd be interested in knowing that too. Particularly since I bought that exact same VN-35 stylus a year ago and paid no VAT.

Best bang for the buck I've found for a VN-35 nude eliptical. https://mrstylus.com/en/product/shure-vn-35-e-black-diamond/

When I placed the order, there were shipping options. The cheapest was $8.75 but I uncharacteristically opted for the $20 one because it included import duty. Even so, I was expecting a week or so wait.

It’s Friday. On Wednesday I placed a small order with Mouser. It arrived this morning. From Mansfield, TX to Castlegar, BC in way less than 48 hours. A 2000mi cross border trip.

I see. Thanks for the explanation!

Q409 (BD139) was bad so I replaced it and one burnt resistor. Also stuck a new BD139 at Q410 in the opposite channel. One of the outputs is not cooperating when it's screws are tightened - the DBT does not get that dim. So I have no faith in the TO3's. I am going to replace all o them -...

Yes and two of them are supposed to be 180 degrees from the corresponding two in the other channel. Seeing that some were installed one way and some the other made me wonder about orientation of the lot of them. The integrated amp's service manual, but not the receiver's, had diagrams of the...

The past few weeks I've been picking away at trouble shooting a free NAD 7225pe receiver, using the primitive means at my disposal. I have been pulling transistors to check them and suspected that two I removed were actually installed backwards. It was very time consuming (for me anyway)...

Years ago I read that the Soviet military still used tubes because they were less susceptible to EMPs from nuclear detonations.

Regarding those "death grip" Monster Cables, I may have posted this story before. I worked for a large audio chain and one of the locations I was at contained a top producing sales person for the company. Ironically he did not know that much about audio. He was fond of bragging to the rest...

I made lots of patch cords once upon a time and could not justify anything but cheap RCA plugs because a plug is a plug. My only criterion became metal barrels instead of plastic. But over time therefore repeated connects/disconnects, a number of them failed. Either they physically broke (fell...

Your 400 looks like it's got dark tinted meter lenses. I too have a 4 fin, also from 1973 made in the month of March I believe. it's meters lenses are darkly tinted. So dark, that when I got it, illumnation was barely detectible. I had to view the bulbs direct on to see if they were...

Thanks! Q409, and it's other channel counterpart, I have not checked yet.

Oh yes, it could.

Glen called, shortly after I posted and straightened me out.

If I may pick a brain or three, This might be a basic "Electronics 101" question and the component make/modle may be irrelevant. I've spent some time dabbling inside a free NAD 7225PE receiver. The power amp section has a problem. Both channels work and the volume it produces is equal on...

I remembered Tonar styli from record player needles in the 50’s & 60’s and was pleased to see that brand name was still around. Within the past 7 or 8 years I’ve ordered Tonar styli several times. Once from a Canadian vendor in New Brunswick and others from Pickupnaalden - Netherlands. The...

My opinon but "It Came out of the Sky" is one of the best rock 'n' roll songs ever recorded.
