Check the turntable to see if it has a built-in preamp - many newer and less expensive turntables these days have them. If it does, that should be...
This previous thread had some suggestions, with the small wires inside Ethernet and USB cables being a choice of a few members on here. I haven’t...
That's a great suggestion, thanks so much Valentin! Pretty amazing that those ICs are still available new today. I will try and confirm this is...
Someone gave me this nice condition Sony BM-17 to have a go at fixing. Thought it might be just a belt change, but things are never that...
Thanks for doing this and interesting to read. How would you rate the Fox and Eq Pro in comparison to your test Maxell UR? (I assume it’s a new...
Look forward to reading this...
Horrible and frustrating to hear your story. Don’t give up, though, I’m sure it’s recoverable. Take a deep breath, and when you’re ready to, make...
Great photographs, and excellent, clear descriptions Valentin, thank you!
@Valentin - just spotted the additional photos you posted here of the springs and correct positioning on the mechanism: thank you for adding...

That's great! But orchestral piano music - a tough wow and flutter test for this unit, and one it does not pass too well by the sounds of things!...
I think I need one of these for my DDIII, which has a channel imbalance which varies depending on what volume it is playing at (low volume, right...
The rubber capstan tyre is the other thing that could cause flutter if it has degraded over the years. Might be worth purchasing a replacement to...
Exactly, yes, the equivalent space on my own DDIII: IMG_0062-crop by C83 posted Feb 12, 2021 at 11:36 AM
Thanks Matt, that looks like a likely candidate. So that would be the little component you can seen tucked inside the larger board in Marian's...
This is pretty fascinating and am tempted to give it a go for my DDIII. @mihokm , that link to the converter is no longer valid, I wonder would...
Excellent information @CDV - thank you so much! A couple of my units I got the old belt out of there before it turned to goo - was just soft and...
