Anyone remember the lateral tracking Bang and Olufsen record player from the 80’s??
@glupson: I'm scratching my head! I will try searching on eBay for replacement belts. That's probably the only things needed to get your TT working!

I sent a message to you on Google Hangouts using your email address. I will try again! That way you can send me some pictures! I am always curious to see what someone's building!

The PV-3 can be used as a phono stage alone by the tape-out jacks!

I prefer using the Mitsubishi and Revox lateral- tracking TTs instead. They allow the use of mc cartridges. And are better built (direct-drive and more mass) machines!

SMSL 98E killed my setup?
What is a "Scarlet Solo"? A headphone amp? Does it have a volume control and a pair of RCA output jacks? If so, yes you can plug it into the SMSL.

Plugging and unplugging live components into each other can cause damaging transients! Don't do it! Turn everything off before plugging/unplugging cables!

You can connect a line-level component into the SMSL safely by having the volume pot turned off.

The SMSL does NOT have a preamp stage. Just a passive volume pot and a pair of RCA jacks. So it is essentially a power amp! I recommend that you continue to use it with your speakers. Don't waste money on another power amp! If you get a new Atom (...

The SMSL SA 98E is a small class-D stereo power amp with a stereo volume control. 65wpc/8ohms, 80wpc/6ohms. The OP can use it with a pair of speakers. He does not need another power amp! Cost: $114. Made in Ch*na - where else! It does come with an...
