| Bentley Acoustic Corporation EC86 Tubes? BAC were importers and rebranded other manufacturers tubes. Consequently, it's difficult to say how good they are. However perhaps the designer picked these as a known best quantity from a NOS stock. The EF86 is very cheap and available. Why not r... | |
| Live show audience noise Yeah. It's not audience noise that bugs me, it's he ear-splitting whistling. I love the live murmur in a jazz speakeasy!A live Dead recording is ruined by it and a lovely moment between Roy Harper and Jimmy Page destroyed forever by some idiot. Et... | |
| Stylus alignment help Holy crap! Sorry to hear of your conditions. It would be great if folks could visit and support each other with issues like this. | |
| budget tables U-turn would be a sideways move. Pioneer PLX1000 would be a good upgrade on what you have for little money. Pay attention to good level support table. Thorens tables tend to be lacking in detail and energy. | |
| Floyd-The Wall...which one? Original UK pressing. US pressings of many UK bands are often second rate unfortunately. | |
| What is your favorite holiday song? Fairytale of New York; The Pogues, Shane MacGowan and Kirsty MacColl. | |

| Stylus alignment help Check the stylus assembly is fully home first. I would align it so it matched the template. Whether it'll be all that noticeable as it is is another thing. | |
| Turntable + Preamp Ground? Good to hear. | |
| hooked up TT and preamp to receiver sound fades out after 4-5 seconds Connect the phono amp output into a different input on the receiver. | |
| Decca carts I’ve used a Decca Super Gold since the late 80s with mixed results until I installed it on a Jelco 750 12". I works perfectly with or without the damping oil. It also works better into 47k and some say 1Meg. If you load it down any more, you lose ... | |
| Decca carts Unless you buy a Decca new, you should send it to JW for service and possibly a new stylus. Set up right, they are superb. I'm not sure I agree with your idea to ameliorate the detail and speed of the Decca with the "creamy" Quicksilver. | |
| Turntable + Preamp Ground? Let the group know how you get on and how it sounds. Make sure you put that TT on a good support. | |
| Somehow I've got myself a "WTF" dilema with my newly setup Turntable. HELP! Try the phone IC into Left of Aux and Right of Tuner. See if switching sources still plays audibly. Trying to ascertain if the pre/power amp is loading the phono amp incorrectly - i.e. a phone amp issue. If it does play on one channel for both sou... |
