Some things can't be rushed. I packed away a fortune worth of audio equipment the moment my wife said she was pregnant. It took me two decades and the need to do a loft conversion before I finally dug out the bits again. Most people had thought I had got rid if the stuff or had just lied about me ever owning any of it. So Marco might be on the same type of trip:).
Out of interest, things that I packed away:
2 x Micro Seiki MA-505 MKI
2 x Technics EPA-501H
1 x Micro Seiki DDX-1000
1 x Ariston RD-40
1 x Sony PS6750
1 x Mitsubishi DA-10
Plus a few dust arms. Since then eBay has enlightened me to the curet day value of all that stuff:). Glad I didn't flog them then.
Mike,
Yep, it's half done. I've just got the 'interesting' bits to add ;)
I've got too many things on right now to finish it, but don't worry it'll be posted before your next birthday :lol:
I'm also trying to get the Yaqin sorted.
Has your deck 'emerged' yet from its slumber?
Marco.
PS. Sensi, did you read my reply about the EPA-501H?
I did. Got a few things to take care of, which is taking up space on the same table I use to take pictures. Once that is out of the way I shall do you the shots.Quote:

If so then you can buy http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...e=STRK:MESE:IT
It is then upgradable to four :smoking: seperate power supplies, as is your want.
Sensi,
Nice one. Keep me in the loop :smoking:
Mike,
Looks like Richard has sorted out the phono stage side of things. For the cartridge do you fancy a coil or an MM jobby, and what type of sound do you like?
I can then recommend some suitable cartridges within your budget :)
Marco.
Interesting!Quote:

1. Ignoring PSU's for the moment, Is there any difference in circuitry between that board in the link above and the Phono1 and Phono2? (I'd already been looking and they figure in my short list).
2. Would it be possible purchase the board and four PSU's together, and at what price?
3. If I purchased four PSU's I assume it would be preferable to use four separate transformers, bridges etc. Yes?
Cheers,
Mike.
Well, it depends on which phono stage I settle on, but considering present budget constraints I expect to be looking in the MM playground for now.Quote:
