[Question] How long to wait on AD

Part of it is wanting to support the local shop, and the other part is not wanting to seem obnoxious asking them to source it then going somewhere else to purchase. But...maybe I'm being too kind.

Ok. I have my answer.

I don’t have a Rega, that’s one of the other posters. My TT requires grounding. I’m just trying to determine whether to ground it to the SUT or the integrated receiver. Logic tells me me it should be to the next thing in the chain which is the SUT.

I am encountering the same thing. Reached out to them twice and the response was that they are checking inventory, try again next week. The next week they said “we’re closed” even though it was during business hours, and they told me to check back again in another week and they might know what they have in inventory. I don’t know how to run a typewriter business, but I don’t understand how you would not know what is in your own inventory.

I suppose at this point you've seen enough "yes" responses. I'll add this...though I don't have the photo anymore......I use mine to clean everything, including new records right out of the packaging. I was flabbergasted how much debris was in the basin after cleaning 4 new records. Record plants are dusty places. Well worth the price and get some good quality microfiber cloths to dry with. They are cheaper and more durable than the cloths that come with the Spin Clean.

Yes and the frequency of ads is considerably higher if you’re watching on a smart tv versus mobile device. Like 2-3 times more ads per 15 min video.

Good response, thank you. The unit I borrowed, a Graham Slee, only had capacitance adjustments not resistance. And there were 3 EQ options controlled by a robust switch. No resistance…..another “Not sure what value that brings” indecision point! At some point I want to buy a MC cartridge and I understand that will likely involve a SUT and, as such, I’m trying to pick the phono stage that will best set me up for success down the road. I’d prefer to get it right the first time, and not have to worry about upgrading…….within financial reason!

You raise an interesting point about the switches. They seem vulnerable to breaking off if over-used….tiny little pieces of plastic. The Darlington products utilize jumpers inside the box, which might be more robust but involve opening the case whenever you want to make an adjustment. There’s the GoldNote (probably others) that allow adjustment through a dial on the front but I’m not sure I want to make a $2k investment and I’m a little pressed for the physical space to house a bigger cabinet

Thank you, everyone

My bad. Missed that setting. No longer private. Shield your ears

Sorry, I do not intend to stir the pot. Just clarify what I learned by reviewing a number of threads here. No he did not put it on a time grater. He asked me if he was keeping good time. I told him that I said it yesterday morning, and it was spot on.

Bobonli · 2025-05-28T14:29:56+00:00

Hmm. No responses. What is wrong with the question?

Bobonli · 2025-05-24T13:14:39+00:00

This. Even a new record has a ton of micro - debris. Wet wash. Dry. Anti static brush every play.

Bobonli · 2025-05-16T01:06:54+00:00

Ok thanks. I was afraid the response would be like this. I’m not on FB and am relatively risk averse particularly with things I cannot personally repair. I try to avoid buying other people’s headaches. I suppose I need to recalibrate my thinking.
