Plenty of Arthritis for all Enjoy mate, I don't really miss reunions as among other reasons, there's still too much "one-upmanship" even at this later stage in life, apart from the travel costs for me.

stevoz Posted October 21, 2018 Author Share Posted October 21, 2018 (edited) Bought one of these for the phono to amp run. A 1.8m Gecko Premium RCA cable......made in Australia. My brother bought one for the same purpose a few weeks ago and reckons his SQ improved noticeably, in fact, he was pretty blown away by the results. He has a very good system....better than mine. He paid $75 for his, I got mine on ebay for $37 w/free postage. A bargain for a quality cable.... https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Gecko-Premium-RCA-Cable-1-8m-BG-14B-for-good-sound-connection/142167965296?hash=item2119defe70:g:FcMAAOSwImRYGTwg:rk:3:pf:0 Edited October 21, 2018 by stevoz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said before though, my bro is very impressed. He has a Project 6PerspeX TT, Cambridge Azur balanced intergrated amp, Soneteer Sedley phono amp and Mordant Short Performance 6 speakers, so his system is no slouch and he loves this cable. He did replace a Monster cable though.....which I will be too. Edited October 21, 2018 by stevoz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crisis Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 $8 off of eBay. I have been messing around with the set up of my newly added cartridge and have noticed significant differences when adding and subtracting washers to adjust the arm height. It actually sounds the best it has now but I would like to check how level it is. That is of course if this cheap lump of plastic is even accurate... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool, I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this on one of my local record shops, I’ll try to get a copy.

The Gecko cable arrived last Friday and I must say it is a beautifully made cable.....I can't believe it cost only $37 (RRP $75.....still a bargain). Alas, it's still sitting on the accessories table. I put on an LP to listen with the old cable for comparison purposes and the right channel was out.....just 'white noise'. Had a fiddle, couldn't get it back. I walked away.....annoyed and defeated. Ignored it all over the weekend but I'm off work today so will get inside the PHO8 to see if I can rectify the problem......it's not the main amp. Stay tuned.....
