Now that Marco upgraded to the Time Step PSU, his KAB PSU found a new home in the US.
Dave,
I opened the box, and it's not obvious (to me at least:scratch:) on what to do to get this thing converted to 120V.
Appreciate your gracious offer to give me step by step instructions. Here's a pic to guide us.:)

Hi Jason,
You may find it best to start a separate thread for this :)
Marco.
I expect it's just a matter of connecting the transformer primaries in parallel instead of series.;)
Well I'll see...doing fancy-dancy doesn't leave a lot of time for photography. Anyway, how about a piccy of your 'big boy'? I mean the counterweight! :lol:Quote:

I've started a new thread on this topic in DIY. We can pick-up our discussion there.
I've modified my arm mount so that the arm sits lower and I can now mount the DL103 in the LH-18 headshell without using a spacer and have the arm horizontal.
Sounds great, though I begin to hear what people mean about the shortcomings of the 103 at the top end. Cymbals, for example sound just a little 'papery' rather than 'sparkly', but it's not a major issue and I have really got round to tweaking the settings yet.
Have to say that your DIY arm mount using the original Technics surround/mount ring, looks much more "proper" than the other offerings.
Nicely done. :)
Thanks Tony.
Further to my previous post: I'm finding - as did Jason - that there's now not quite enough clearance between the disc and the connector end of the headshell. (It's OK until a warped disc comes along). So a thin spacer is going to have to come back in.
John,
In my tinkerings, I've found that my 103 and 103R both sound better (considerably) with a light wooden spacer between the LH-18 and the cartridge. :confused:
With my armplate, I can lower the Jelco arm and arm rest low enough to use the 103 on the LH-18 with correct VTA (albeit a very small clearance between the back of the headshell and the record); but when I do this, the 103 and 103R were both sounding a little off. I put the wood spacer back in and they sound great! :smoking:
I don't know what to attribute it to - can't imagine it's mass as the spacer weighs less than 1g, but it makes a huge difference.
