    Thorens TD124 PSU voltage

    i'm experimenting with a speed controller (monarchy audio regenerator 50/60hz 100-120v) and am wondering what voltage people like I've been using 108v 60hz. The speed controller is also helpful because the speed takes about 20 min to stabilize (i think as the motor warms up) and i can give it...

    Tube Positions in Luxman Cl-38U Preamp

    Sorry if this is elementary but the phono stage on this preamp has 3 "12ax7/ECC83" tubes and I would like to know which positions would benefit from high quality matched NOS tubes. Most of the NOS versions of this tube are very expensive and i don't want to waste money where it won't count as...

    Perfect except for balance knob SX-1050

    Just got a 1050 that i hooked up over the weekend. It was recently gone through by a tech and certified as all working and everything seems to work well except the balance knob has no effect on anything - its like it just isn't connected to anything. Thoughts on what could cause this?

    C37 phono mod?

    I just hooked up a mcintosh c37 and was getting wicked hum through my denon 103 (.3mv) and step-up. Funny I thought, how very un-Mcintosh to have that much noise. Then I put on a record and the usable volume range is only 1-3 out of 100 - YIKES. 2 sounded great but was loud as crap. Next step i...

    Was MC Phono an option on the Mcintosh C37?

    I just hooked up a mcintosh c37 and was getting wicked hum through my denon 301 and step-up. Funny I thought, how very un=Mcintosh to have that much noise. Then I put on a record and the usable volume range is only 1-3 out of 100 - YIKES. 2 sounded great but was loud as crap. Next step i took...

I'm at my wits end here and considering trying to salvage buttons from a blender or try 3d printing. Any insight would be much...

    will this be too much gain for my phono stage

    i have a 20:1 step up and I'm looking at going from a dl103r to a dl301mk2 as it hopefully will track better and be a better fit with my arm, an rb-600. Going into the phono stage on an audible illusions m3. I just realized that the 301 has much more gain .4 vs .25 - will this be too much...
