While yer in there I'd replace the electrolytic capacitors - I think there are a few . Cheers, Bob

Where did you get your stylus replaced?? I love MA carts and have a 3002 II that needs a new stylus and I have backups for the backup.... Cheers, Bob

Ground wire from TT to preamp the CNC is plugged into. Just changed TTs last night had the same problem - connected ground wire to AMP still hum, no ground connection - same hum, connected ground wire to PREAMP TT post - DEAD QUIET. Hope that helps. Cheers, Bob Eye Candy, my CNC is the...

Hey kids I'm thinking about a sort of project/ primer TT setup. I recently purchased a Basis Audio 1400 Turntable from Bartertown and was wondering since I know there's a few expert turntable gurus about in the DC area, hows about me bringing this TT along and getting it set up all proper and...

Have you looked at a Frugal Horn XL - DIY and killer for SET tubage I'm sure. I'm getting ready to pull the trigger and build me some. They go flat pack n ship, you build. Cheers, Bob

Wow that sure is purdy.... and in super fine condition. Cheers, Bob

The X2 cap is a poly film cap that is yes across the line and I usually install them at the IEC but you can put them on the switch but requires fiddling with the wiring. Putting them on the IEC, they see 120vac 100% of the time unless you have a power strip that you use to turn off your gear...

250V is my minimum for I use mains 110-120vac. They mostly come in this voltage rating anyways. What you need to worry about switch mains voltage is arc over at the contacts when switching, thats what actually wears out the switch over time. A heavier duty switch for 250v mains will last a lot...
