ATMA SPHERE SCHEMATIC for a UV-1 M/M.......
Will, did the description of the circuit I gave you on the phone not work for you? 
Is there a user solution?
Sounds like the balance control is dirty as well as the input selector switch.   
Grado Statement cartridges - load at 47km or lower
The Statement has a low inductance not unlike a low output moving coil.As a result the same rules apply:If your phono section is unstable you may prefer lower loading settings such as 100 or 500 ohms. But an ideal situation would be 47K; this will... 
Is it possible to have a quiet vinyl records
So if my phono preamp (Ifi Iphone 2) is not stable enough, why some records play very clean. Should all play with noise in that case. Some surfaces are actually better than others. So you may well encounter LPs that are silent even on an unstable... 
New Technics SL1200G turntable
The SL1200G has got to have a lot of high end turntable manufactures worried. Its a direct drive that works and is one of the most speed stable machines made. It has an excellent plinth and chassis, and 5 different damping systems are employed. It... 
Pick A Tube Phono Preamp, but not just any Tube Phono Preamp
Ah. Right, then :) 
This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in.
And try the veal. 
Falling out of love with tubes
Boy, the Eico was kind of a budget amp even when it was new- ceramic caps for coupling caps, cheap parts throughout... that would be a good amp to fall out of love with, and I would not abandon tubes on its account!Tube technology has improved sin... 
Technics SL1100A Repair/Restoration
The number one reason for this problem on the SL1100 is dirty speed controls. A shot of Deoxit (from the inside) and working the controls back and forth may be all it needs. Its been many years since I had my SL1100 but it may also have internal c... 
Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model)
Apparently the only difference between the new SL1200G arm and the SP-10R is the length and resulting changes in geometry.  
Is it possible to have a quiet vinyl records
I don't use anti-static devices, nor do I clean my LPs with anything other than a carbon fiber dust brush.But I am very used to no ticks and pops even with older LPs, as long as the LP surface looks OK. The trick is a stable phono preamp. Phono pl... 
New Technics SL 1200 GAE
 I would like Ralph to comment on why he is so opposed to this arm.  I imagine with a different headshell the stock arm could become significantly better than with the stock headshell.  The video on youtube from fremer really has me scatching ... 
How can Wilson Audio speakers sound that good if they are using OEM drivers?
Seems to me Wilson uses a number of drivers made by MISCO of Minneapolis. They often make custom drivers and have been in business for decades. Experience working with materials is worth something; its often all about execution! 
Pick A Tube Phono Preamp, but not just any Tube Phono Preamp
Transistors are expensive to manufacture and put in audio gear, sTransistors are cheap compared to tubes; this statement is false.It is the transistors that flesh out the details,  especially at the frequency extremes. E.g.  If you had 4 tubes a... 
Replace monaural SS radio for talk show
I like to listen to the radio while cooking... I found a 50s RCA AM-FM radio in a junk shop, took it to work and rebuilt it. It plays a nice volume and has that 'Golden Throat' sound (says so right on the back)!I've rebuilt a few KLH radios for fu...
