Re: How does a WD Phono 3 compare to commercial offerings

Thanks Neal - will post on the WD site to see how to do the mods you suggest.

I may as well try what I have now before deciding to spend more money.

How does a WD Phono 3 compare to commercial offerings

I have a WD Pre/phono/power set which I havn't used for years and need a nice MC phono. My WD phono has the SUT's but they have never been wired up so it is MM only at present. I would like to know if it is worth keeping the set just for the Phono use or if I would be better off selling and buying a...

Re: Vinyl to hard disc

I have had a few goes at digitizing some rare discs with varying degrees of success. Earlier this year I decided to spend a bit of money on the Rega Fono Mini A2D (£89). A small cheap simple unit that works well as a Phono unit as well as providing a digital signal to usb. I never got on with Audaci...

Haddock Tonearm plug and socket

Does anybody know of a source or the name of the red plug and socket used on Haddcock tonearms (arm lead to interconnect lead) as I need a new set ? I cannot believe it was made as a one off for Haddock but as I don't know what to call it I cannot seem to find it at the likes of Farnell, RS, CPC and...
