| Lifters ForGetting Cables Off The Floor, Worth It Or Snake Oil @audiopoint the time base on the scans I posted is 160mS hence the frequency of the main signal visible in the first scan is 10-12hz (depending on whether you think there are 1.5 or 2 cycles displayed) so I suspect this is not a power supply issue... | |

| Female Vocal Collection on Vinyl?? I've seen a few of these on offer from Elusive Disc -- usually compilations from labels based in Asia ('tho the one below seems to be German) -- as a rule steer clear of compilations as you cannot guarantee what they used as sources -- seek out th... | |
