I guess this is the right section to post in for this, its analogue related. 

Finally got my TT up and running again with a new wall mount hifi unit.

Keeping it out of reach from the kids.

 

Good move.  I have granddaughter about to start walking and I have to start thinking about things like this.

A new (old) TT from SNA member. Rega Planar 2 with Linn arm and retrofitted platter and mat. Excellent transaction and very satisfied purchaser. I’ve ordered some new cartridges and have some more setup work to do, but a happy camper from the get-go!

 

Oh, and the phonostage is handcrafted from SNA member and the Bewitch tube integrated amplifier is from SNA member (as is a MF A3.5 CDP which you can’t see and interconnects).

Well the Dynavector DRT XV-1s arrived yesterday and I quickly did a rough setup with my basic paper protractor that I used with my previous cartridge. But I think the fancy spread deserves better treatment than that so rather than paying someone a couple of hundred clams to set it up for me I decided to DIY and ordered the Dr Feickert protractor, KAB Speedstrobe & Analogmagik software to do it up right. 

Even w/o a proper setup I can say this cartridge is really something special.

 

I've got it tracking at 2 grams on the AM 6 & the Valab set at 100 ohms & 60db gain. Once the setup gear gets here I'll start to tweak it to the max.

Finally got myself a copy of the comeback album.....AC/DC's "The Razor's Edge" 2009 or 2018 reissue (not sure which but both are George Marino remasters), German pressing (Optimal Media).....at a decent price.?

Unfortunately, according to the seller of the above, the item "was damaged by the courier" and was returned to them, necessitating a full refund to me as they are now "out of stock".....sounds fishy to me!?

Yesterday I bought an XLR -> RCA adaptor (2 actually)

Simple, yeah?

Apparently not. The female to female adaptor was required but not available at Jaycar.

First up, I was supplied with a a male XLR fitting which had to be exchanged.

 

Imagine my disappointment at needing to buy (extra cost as well as inconvenience) two extra RCA (F-> F) adaptors.

 

At least my VRDS-10 transport now connects to the DEQ2496 and into the pre-amp
