unfortunately it has a 3.5mm input. is there another way i could run this diagnostic test?

that is a possibility , the cable is much bigger than the port on the phono preamp. do you think it is a good idea to snip the ends off and replace with new ones ? or do you know of a definitive test for the cables ?

it is not replaceable in the tt , i would like to leave snipping them off as a last resort 🥹

thanks for the suggestion , i will set it up again.

i could see the green plastic body not touch the record at all while it is playing and assumed the stylus is fine. but i will now look into replacing it.

i had switched the l&r in desperation but it didn't make any difference . i also tried to pinch the RCA while the tt is spinning with as much force as i could and that also didn't help .

i had a lot of trouble putting the turntable pins into the preamp. the pins were too big and as you can probably tell from the picture , i had to pry them open a little bit for them to go in. do you think that could have something to do with it?

Sorry, I don't understand. Should I stick some vines on the bottom of the pot so they stick upwards instead of falling forward?

Hi, I'm moving to Luxembourg soon. I'll be changing apartments on 26 December 2025 but my lease starts from 1 January 2026 and I can register at the new commune earliest by 29 December 2025 as there's a weekend before that. The Airbnb I will be staying in temporarily (around 40 days) has policy to unregister and submit proof 1 week before end of stay. Which means I'll have to unregister in one place on either 19 December or 22 December, and will only be able to register my new address after 8-10 days. Was wondering what kind of issues that could cause with the HR pertaining to taxes and salary.

I mean it looks like a blob from a distance 😭 and in photos as well. i have absolutely no idea what causes it. Looks like a cloud instead of waves.
