| Dr Feikert vs Funk Firm LSD Call Blackbird Audio he use to sell the LSD he might be able to give you some insight. I called him about my Pink Triangle Pink Link power supply. We started talking about the LSD and told me his customers and himself had nothing but trouble with ... | |
| Who Here Makes Their Own Power Cables? I've had good results building my own power cords. Most of my store bought cord were JPS Labs. I use a 8 gauge wire solid core copper, stranded copper and solid core silver depending on sound I'm looking for. Solid core has big bass and more detai... | |
| Thorens TD-165 Agree check cartridge tags. Check table ground wire-spade connection, that wire is usually thin and fragile and sometimes many strands are broken off unnoticed, solder it if can. Table may have ground wire off tonearm bolted to chassis with anothe... | |
