Went from brilliant to distortion Interesting. The moving upset things somehow. The 2 triode amplifying elements in each tube can be allocated to a channel each. The 802s are a different tube with lower gain but higher current. | |
Whats on your turntable tonight? @tomic601 I take it you've not played this rig in a while. If so, and the Croft isn't giving you the magic, swap out the phono tubes with some spare 12AX7s and see what happens. | |

Went from brilliant to distortion Recheck your cabling and inputs/outputs. If it was me, I'd put everything back the way it was in the P10 system and see what happens. You are playing with too many variables. Ensure tubes are seated fully. | |
Whats on your turntable tonight? @tomic601 Re the Croft warm-up, dunno...10 minutes. Why? You having issues? | |
Whats on your turntable tonight? @uber There are few records that I feel embarrassed by. And I like Melanie. At least I don't have Frampton Comes Alive in my collection. | |

Fuzzy distortion on vinyl........Stylus issue? You can upgrade to a Blue by replacing the stylus but not a Bronze as it has different innards. Put a few drops of 91% isopropyl alcohol on a Magic Eraser. Drop and raise the stylus (with the cue) into it a few times. | |
System problem Initially, it sounded like you may have blown a combination of the tweeter and/or the midrange resistor fuses in the speakers. But you say you can hear every driver. Then it can only be the power amps. Perhaps they throttle down when overdriven. | |
Whats on your turntable tonight? @tomic601 It's made me appreciate the 850L a lot more. | |
Whats on your turntable tonight? Maybe. Not unhappy! It didn't set me back much. |
