Re: Kegworth
Room 106, for me. You are very welcome to hear the new Phonomac rebuilt SP10 and PMAT-1010 Tonearm, and Rebuilt K'b. It is being picked up for the event en-route Saturday morning. Congratulations John, that's a fantastic combination and will sound superb with your kB. Hope the show goes well. I'd l...

I did wonder about that.mainscablesrus wrote: ↑Thu Feb 07, 2019 8:17 pm Making a mains cable with only the earth wired to the plug using a decent shielded and screened cable with the other end terminated with whatever connector you need seems to work.
Much cheaper than grounding boxes.
I'll give it a go.

Re: DIY grounding box.
I'd like to make one and see if it has any effect. Can anyone suggest what material to fill the box with ? All sorts of crystals have been suggested, but some are quite expensive in bulk. This is what I have found. No idea if it will work but I have the bits enroute for a total of £20. Good luck ht...

Glad you like it!

Re: Yorkshire Hi-Fi Club
Any idea what kind of date you'd be looking at?
May be a bit early for me as I'm still waiting for a couple of bits from China.
I'd like to bring the Bigbottle up for a listen. Not a competitive listen, just interested in how it sounds next to Nick's benchmark phonostage, The MFA.

Looks good. Thanks!!Neal wrote: ↑Thu Nov 15, 2018 8:08 pm As Ant says you can use pretty much anything, RS do some nice hook up cable, silver plated that you can twist together for short lengths, you really don’t need anything special.

Re: Cable suggestions for phonostage innards
I suppose I'm an idiot here because I kind of went through this learning experience thirty to forty odd years ago - I promise I'm not being patronising here. The best comparison of sorts I can give is when I went from collecting every leaflet and catalogue at shows (and spending months absorbing it...

Re: NVA phono 2 + extra power supply
Hi Nigel,
Hope you're well!. What phonostage are you keeping? Did you buy a Phono3 in the end?

Re: Cable suggestions for phonostage innards
For phono wiring I use the Canare L4E6S . One can get it at Markertek or other studio suppliers. https://markertek.resultspage.com/search?w=microphone+cable&sitepref=1 It's sounds very neutral (not adding anything that would pop out)and has two conductors plus shield. I use it like in "g&q...

Re: Cable suggestions for phonostage innards
Please be aware of the tiny gauge wire in your cartridge usually copper - I admit an MC will have a few feet tops I suspect and possibly less - MM types have tens of feet in their windings I gather. I haven't done it, but looking at the usually thin and fine circuit track on many phono stage boards...

Re: Cable suggestions for phonostage innards
Hi all, I've toyed with the Idea of twisting some pairs of 20AWG stranded Neotech UP-OCC hookup wire together and using that. Thanks. Why ? What do you hope the advantage will be ? I like UP-OCC cables and would like to use it in the phonostage. The problem being there is only one company that make...

Cable suggestions for phonostage innards
Hi all, I'm nearly finished assembling my phonostage and got to a point where I can't really find a wire for the PCB to RCA socket links. I've toyed with the Idea of twisting some pairs of 20AWG stranded Neotech UP-OCC hookup wire together and using that. Question is, will I get any hum from using a...
