| Technics 1200 w/ AT440ML/OCC ... BENT! +1 VM750SH. I have one. My Deccas beat it but it's still very good. Plenty of detail but not bright. If feeling flush, the VM760SLC will give you even more of everything. If saving a few bucks helps, the Nagaoka MP110 is great too. | |

| Mains sockets and star earth - can anyone explain? Ground loops | |

| Advice & thoughts on DIY Recap/Restoration of vintage amp/equipment I’ve done tube amps. I’d be reluctant to do sand amps. It you zap the transistors, you’re going to hurt. You could buy a working one on ebay. | |

| What would my Rega 25 be worth? https://www.hifishark.com/model/rega-p-25 | |
| Does a brand new electrical circuit for audio gear benefit from burn in/break in time? I noticed an immediate initial improvement but noticed no "burn in." | |
| UP-OCC solid core copper for speaker cable @havocman I resemble that remark! Noromance, unfortunately you’re wrong about that | |
| Audio-grade rectifying diode? Don't bother with caps across diodes. Add a 0.22ųF cap in series with a 10R resistor across the power transformer secondary. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @bkeske Brian, I have an original 1959 copy. It was at the back as it was virtually unplayable. One day last year, I ran it through the US a few times and it now plays as VG+ BUT, man, the SQ is fantastic. The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Time Out. ... | |
| Audio-grade rectifying diode? Apparently, changing IN4007 to UF4007 is beneficial. |
