What happens when you realise you've written a load of rubbish and want to edit posts to make you look less stupid?

Happens quite often with me.

After reading up a bit, I have bought a Pico PC scope and had my first play this afternoon. It comes with a built-in function generator, (think the internal impedance is circa 600R). Fist up was an open circuit sine wave test of the AT630 and comes in at an amplification factor of circa 15 or 23.5dB...

While I was at it had taken a couple of pics of the SUTs. Does anyone recognise who they might be made by? I have talked to the original builder, and he has suggested that the SUTs fitted were made by a now closed company called Goring. Has anyone heard of them and have any understanding of their l...

Don't know why but I just think the bass is overpowering. Don't listen to mine as a result.

Likewise

Ray, what's your 'strava name' and I will try to follow you?

I looked up 'Mike Head' on Strava and it was a guy in Plymouth?

Mike Head
Sale, England

I would be up to join a group (Strava- Mike Head).

I did set one up for our ski holiday group so can initiate if you want.

62.2 miles. I had to stop and check this so I could moniior on my Garmin. It meant a couple of small detours going home to ensure that I made the distance.

There are a few challenges this month. This is a single 100k ride they call the Gran Fondo.

Has anyone thought of a Strava Group so you don't have to post stats for individual rides?

Managed my Strava 100k May challenge yesterday with a nice ride up the back of Frodsham and back through Delamere. Nice views over the Dee estuary.

So reading here: https://www.vinylengine.com/step-ups-and-mc-cartridges.shtml, I take it that there are no resistors in the AT630 and it is wound specifically for a 47k/20R ratio. The gain is therefore 48.5, or 26dB. Being such high gain, without increasing the 47k load resistor, cannot be adjusted ...

I am a member of a Group Buy for Cinemag 1245 SUT. The pair are a very similar cost to your Sowter 9570 Price. Thanks JohnG. Had a look but all the latest posts look like the GB remains closed. Must admit I would probably go with Sowter if I were to buy, just a British brand I trust. But I still do...

So have been thinking about further vinyl system upgrades, initially by upgrading the SUTs in my current RIAA amp. But then to future-proof myself, (thinking of a D3a phono at some time), change the current phono to have a 47k load, and buy/build a new off-board SUT box. But what about an AT630 that...

[Those caps were never designed to have any safety function, and there is probably exposed metal below them. Not David’s fault though, only having a bit of sun with it. Isn't there an articulated test finger of 12mm dia and 80mm long? Suppose this is the same safety concern with any imported or dom...
