I think you're right - if anyone knows an expert around the Croydon area I could visit. I'd be grateful, so if the cartridge is duff - I could return with confidence? Thanks

Standard sme cable and plugs are pretty decent. The plugs to usually look passed it but are fine. I still use mine as is. If you have rca cables elsewhere you could swap out the chord stuff as a trial. Not a lot to go wrong with deck as such..well you,d probably notice if there were.
Cart wrongly wired. Cart set up Head-shell and cart itself, plus phono stage are other potential culprits. Pity your at other side of country. Bound to find someone around your area. If not take it to the shop, or another shop.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

It's nice of you to offer payment for assistance Colin. But in the spirit of the forum, we'd expect anybody willing to help to do it free, barring perhaps just a small remuneration to cover out of pocket costs like fuel or postage, etc. Unless of course, you engage the services of a trade member.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
Take it all to O'Briens and ask them to test it for you, they did some of the work so should be happy to confirm all is ok or not.
Maybe a pain, but we are all pissing in the wind trying to diagnose from a distance.

For those of you still with me - thanks for the input. Tonight I dug out my Hi Sound test record.... points to poor fitting of the arm & or cart since obriens removed & sent back to SME. For those familiar ... on the test for tracking & bias (side 1, test2 b&c)... I was hearing "warble" from the left speaker. Esp on track c. Same on side 2 test 3...worse on test 6. I tweaked the bias to no avail and pressure is set to max anyway.
I'm just technical to set up the arm myself & reluctant to return to dealer as I've lost faith tbh. If anyone knows someone, or a local dealer who is recommended - please advise.
