    Right channel not working (sometimes)

    I think this problem is sorted now. Another few albums listened to with no hiccups. Must be a dodgy wire for sure!  :clap: Thanks for the input guys - In the end it was luckily an easy fix (well temporary fix for now until I make some new ones)

    Right channel not working (sometimes)

    Hi Guys Sorry things got a bit busy my side. I've played a total of 3 albums now without any problems. It must have been a poor connection. Well I hope it was. Hi-Phibian -  the pins on the arm side are good as well. Very tight and not touching. Schalk - Initially I thought it was the cart...

    Right channel not working (sometimes)

    Thanks, I swapped them and both channels work currently but I will only know for sure after a while. I will just swap my input RCA's to the phonostage now to listen to the correct channels on left and right speakers (I don't want my left and right brain to get confused  :nutter:) If any of the...

    Right channel not working (sometimes)

    Hi Guys Is it common or possible for the right channel to stop working from a cartridge? I traced it down to the cart because the phonostage will play for hours from a MC burn in CD. I don't think it's the wiring inside the table because when I touch the right channel wire with tweezers by the...

    Asus Xonar Essence One op amp swapping

    It is a surface mount yes. Cool, I just have to find someone with a HRT streamer now. Let me know when you fit the OPA's.

    Asus Xonar Essence One op amp swapping

    OK I have a new favourite. The OPA2107. Wow!!! Now I need to find someone with a standard HRT streamer 2 so we can do some a/b testing without knowing which one is playing. Think I will start another thread to look for someone that's keen. I cannot say for sure what improved. A bit more detail I...

    Rega RB300 or Linn Basik LVX for MC carts on LP12

    Thanks Guys It's not an easy swap just for quick A/B listening. I think I will go with the RB300 on the LP12 because I'm going to run a MC cart. Hi-Phibian - Thanks, I will mail you in the morning

    Rega RB300 or Linn Basik LVX for MC carts on LP12

    Thanks Preamplified I read that I will have to change the armboard for the RB300 yes :vsad:  Will let you know about the LVX but I think it might go on the TD125 which I might sell in the end. I have to listen to it first... Hi-Phibian - If I have to guess, the one with more swing and flow is...

    Asus Xonar Essence One op amp swapping

    I'm not sure why manufacturers cut costs on the opamps. If you compare a NE5532 to a LM4562 the improvement for me in quality is huge and the price difference is not really that much. The OPA2107AP is quite expensive so I really wonder how much the improvement would be. I can understand why...

    How did your love for Hi-Fi start?

    Hi Curlycat, The PX-100 headphones are incredible for their price. Compared to the higher end sennheisers/grado's they are in most cases more exciting for me. Still love mine after 7 years. Also have to blame my parents for my love for hi-fi. Sansui system with thick carpets and thick...

    Philips record/FM player worth anything?

    Ok spoke to my friend and she will give it some thought. I do not really have time at the moment to work on this. What's my options asking someone to fix this up for her and what would it cost? Obviously I don't know whats not working at the moment. Will test it soon but I just know I'm gonna...

    Philips record/FM player worth anything?

    Ja looks exactly the same. Wow that price is quite steep!!! Thanks for all the info on it Steerpike!!! I will think about it a bit and see if I want to attempt making it sing again. She is quite an arty person so wonder if she must give it a retro look with some paint etc and then use it as an...
