Hello all,

It is long past due that I introduce myself to the forum, as I have been lurking about and learning a great deal from everyone for well over a year now. Innocently enough, I began reading about externalizing the transformer in my Technics SL-1210MK2s in order to avoid a problem with a cartridge that is notorious for picking up hum from the internal power supply. One year later and I am well down the rabbit hole of Technics mods and have thoroughly enjoyed the ride. I never thought myself an apt technician, but the tutorials and advice I have found on this forum have continued to pique my curiosity and have built my confidence enough to dive in myself. I now have a great sounding deck (working on the second) and a far greater knowledge and appreciation of analog playback in general.

I look forward to participating in the forum and sharing my experiences. Cheers!

Paul
