What is this odd little box I've been storing for years?
It's all about overcoming data insufficiency. That was fun. We could do with more brain-teasers.

I guess you’d have to remove the cct board. You might contact their support on this. A loose screw in an amp is not a good thing as it could short something out.

Does anything better Jelco arm ~$1000
Dynamic is better with lower compliance cartridges. I run low compliance Decca on an 850 and warps and lead-in groove damage can cause it to jump. I have not heard the 950.

I know you don’t want to change front end but if you are using a Jelco 750 on the Woodpecker, consider the drop-in replacement 850/950 tonearms. Big upgrade. 
Harbeth 30.1 ? The Ultimate Speaker under $5K ?
Hate to mention the ubiquitous Double Impacts at $3k... but, here we are! 
What do people place on their platter for dust protection
@geoffkait But if you switch off the purifier to listen, some cells escape and land.
