Re: Cartridge issue

It could be either like you say, or a bad contact between the right channel pin of the cartridge and the cable lead of the tonearm.

I won't go into all the stuff I'm listening to but just a c...

"The second photo is specifically for Brutus. Who would have known of the connection."

Re: CDs for sale

Re: Power distributor block / extension lead

Looks impressive. All my power cables are UK, and I was always thinking to get rid of them, and replace with Schuko version.
