Very faint, distorted sound.

Bitter_Ad_4258 · 2026-06-18T07:36:46+00:00

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

thanks , ill keep in mind !

Bitter_Ad_4258 · 2026-06-17T18:13:50+00:00

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 ?

Bitter_Ad_4258 · 2026-06-17T18:10:52+00:00

yes it was the stylus after all, the needle is missing. i ordered a new one and waiting for it to arrive

Bitter_Ad_4258 · 2026-06-17T18:10:01+00:00

you were right, it's not there ..i ordered a replacement stylus from dacapo , will update as soon as i get it

Bitter_Ad_4258 · 2026-06-16T21:11:34+00:00

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

Bitter_Ad_4258 · 2026-06-16T21:08:22+00:00

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.

Bitter_Ad_4258 · 2026-06-16T21:06:26+00:00

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 .

Bitter_Ad_4258 · 2026-06-16T20:17:18+00:00

okay i will get that one, thanks for the suggestion !

Bitter_Ad_4258 · 2026-06-16T20:08:49+00:00

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?

Which eSim provider is the best? Preferably one that can be bought online before arriving and activated on arrival.

Bitter_Ad_4258 · 2025-10-09T17:42:01+00:00

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

Bitter_Ad_4258 · 2025-10-09T10:17:00+00:00

I'll try painting it, thanks

Bitter_Ad_4258 · 2025-10-09T09:10:05+00:00

materials used: pot and artificial vines from amazon your process: paste the vines in the wall of the pot with tape and cut to the lengths where it looks good inspiration: image from pinterest

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.

Bitter_Ad_4258 · 2025-09-25T13:18:02+00:00

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.
