Regards Professor (Timeltel),It's been some time since my size 9 hob-nailed boots were required for cartridge duty?I am still in awe at the ability to bear the pain of recalcitrant rogue cartridges in that English (?) stalwart tradition of yours?O... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hi In_shore,In the 'Nude Turntable Project'.........we could find no-one who had exhaustively tried a 'nude' DD deck against the same one in various plinths and could describe the differences experienced?If you have done so.....it would indeed be ...

Dover,Thank you so much.I closed down all the local abattoirs over the holidays.....and I have never heard such purity, openness and transparency as a result :-)Who knew that vegetarianism was the path to audio Nirvana?Regards

AC power anomalies disrupt only phono stage?
Hi Dover,Yes.......I switched the phase switch during the occurrence.....but no change.I'm currently Googling the location of abattoirs in my vicinity :-)How about knackeries? 
AC power anomalies disrupt only phono stage?

Greetings Professor,Your crystal ball needs refreshing.......it's summer here and more like 28°C (82.4°F)....Power is clean at the moment :-)........but 'fire up the barbie' season sounds good!Haven't seen a typhoon in Sydney since...........???Al... 
AC power anomalies disrupt only phono stage?
Dover,The soundstage completely collapses with little width and no depth.The highs become brittle and emphasised at the expense of the midrange and the bass has all the characteristics of an 'out-of-phase' connection.In other words.....it sounds l...
