An EQ hooked pre out to main in will work but each time the volume control is adjusted, the EQ settings would also need adjusting. Or so I have found.

Does that Musk guy have money to burn?

Those things have a muting circuit involving J112 FET transistors. I had a DH110 once, and those created a problem. I learned it is not uncommon for them to need replacing. FWIW, when I owned the DH110, it was in conjunction with several other pre-amps. I thought I had too many and did a...

Thanks! Seeing that link made me check discogs for a soundtrack / compilation I've been wanting for a couple of years that I had no intention of buying on ebay. Found it, bought it and it's is coming from within Canada.

What happened to the previous occupant? Deceased?

I have a cousin who now lives across the street from me. He collects cast iron pans, pots, etc. He's been using an electrolytic bath set up to clean off crud and last year switched from 12V battery chargers to PS3 power supplies. According to him, the power supplies are better. Says the...

The DLK speakers look like they're worth having. They look small and probably sound OK. I bought a pair of Epicure M50's a few years ago. Didn't need them but being small, I thought they might be handy to have some day. They don't take up much space in the meantime.

I had a pair of SDA-2B's for a year or so and powered them with a 700B and then a 400. The person who bought them complained soon after. Said they caused his receiver to fail. Turned out he either connected or disconnected the SDA cable while the system was operating. That blew fuses in his...

It would not be a total surprize to me if The Turntable Shop business continued with a new owner. If so, whether said person has the same acumen for purchasing and selling plus the skill set to perform repairs, would remain to be seen. As far as I know, a business can have value even if there...

It was about a month after the fact when I learned of Nick's death. That news was told to me by the owner of a record/vintage stereo gear store 50 km away from Nick's store. And the day before I intended to visit Nick and take back my TD124. I totally believe that anyone and everyone within...

When I first learned of Nick's passing, I envisioned myself being considered an unsecured creditor therefore getting diddly squat for compensation. I had no clue what assets or bona fide creditors were involved. With no transaction records kept, it seemed quite possible my claim could be...

Since my last post in May, I was given contact info for a lawyer who was handling the estate of Nick and his business, The Turntable Shop. After a couple of e-mails, I spoke with the lawyer yesterday. He stated that Nick's brother in the US, the executor, had given him the wherewithal to...

Some years ago I sent a Teac A3300 open reel recorder from Vancouver to Montreal for head work. Not sure why I chose to ship FedEx, probably cost. At the depot, I did the paperwork and paid the freight. Next I asked the attendant for some Fragile stickers to attach to the box. He explained...

Are you still consigning through Innovative Audio? What became of Gord and his venture in the US?

A $2000 fuse makes these capacitors an absolute bargain. On sale for $2399 regularly $3999. Recently I happened to speak with the order desk about a more modest item and I asked if any customers actually bought mega bucks capacitors. Answer was "Yes, not many but they do sell".

Like the ones PL installed?

Their first album had just come out and Peaceful, Easy Feeling was getting airplay. Not the style of music people going to that show wanted to hear. When The Eagles came on stage, whoever the front man was commented on the small number present and encouraged the paltry few in the audience to...

I too have that Bull Angus LP. And saw them live. They were between the headliner, Cactus and the warmup band, The Eagles. There were maybe 20 people in the audience when The Eagles played but the place (smallish auditorium) filled up before Bull Angus came on.

Are the pliers for inserting and extracting those RCA plugs? ;)
