No board help, but you might find the attached thread interesting (looks to be a design flaw). https://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/nad-c-275bee-idle-current-adjustment.800074/   DeKay  
Where's the next weak link in my analog chain?
What is the TT placed on? This makes a difference in bass/balance/detail with my old Thorens and it uses a sprung suspension. I use a specialty shelf that was discontinued ages ago (use one under the CD deck as well), but I’m not familiar with t...

Nearfield Low-Level Listening : New Speakers or EQ? Thoughts?

Would I be wasting my money to get a turntable?
Whathifi rates the internal phono section highly, though it's not clear as to what deck and cartridge (MM/MC?) they used. They mention "Thorens" but when I clicked on their various test rooms/systems I could not find a Thorens listed. https://ww...

Your journey with lower-watt tube amps -- Can a kit be good enough?
Hilde: Like the "vacation" take. I don't care about true to the source/low lows/high highs - I just want to be entertained and fooled a bit - take a brief vacation while listening.   DeKay  
Your journey with lower-watt tube amps -- Can a kit be good enough?
Hilde45: My long term experience is with an Audion Silver Night DH/SET 300B amp and my currently owned/early DH/SET 2A3 Bottlehead kits. I’ve also tried (@ home) an early "single ended" Decware amp (EL84/6922 I think), an Audion "single ended" E...
