    Just received the AT95 SA today and mounted on my turntable and I am impressed with this excellent cartridge. The Shiba take stylus really presents a startling amount of clarity and a much better soundstage than the stock Sumiko Pearl and my Ortofon 2m Blue. Just only got to sample this on...

    Recently, when I have used this Tandberg deck I am smelling an electrical burning odor. Is this a possible power supply or other component that is starting to flake out? The deck plays & records just fine, but I'm not sure what is really the root cause. Any ideas??
