| New cables for Thorens TD 160 I did try switching the connections to the cartridgeevery which way. No dice. So it's back in the shop.We will see. He did note that it's an original Pickeringcartridge, but I knew that... Hoping for some good news next weekend. Will report. | |
| New cables for Thorens TD 160 An interesting thought- that the ground and signal might be reversed. I just tried reversing the connectionon one channel and no change. I wonder has anyone seen a signal drop from such areversal before? You'd think if the theory were sound(if you... | |
