Mike, I wouldn't be worried as one person has had it connected to the top right for 2 years with no problems so I think some could be making a mountain out of a mole-hill I suspect.

Dave,
It is not a case of mountains out of mole hills, if he has had it connected that way for 2 years, then just maybe he has been missing out for two years on a better sound experience!!!
Rather, what upsets me is the plethora of uniformed advice, which does nothing for the the technically uniformed who wish to obtain the maximum out of the equipment they have spent their expendible income on.
The point is that it should never have been connected that way in the first place.

Howz it going mate, I'm still smarting from the cricket , my old school 11 in WA could have done better I have had both the Cawley recommended connection point as per instructions with my TS HE+ PSU and latterly reconnecting to the lower left of circuit board where it shall remain coz I'm buggered if I want to faff anymore on this particular aspect. Hand on heart MikeO, I really could not detect any diff in worthwhile performance. The way I see it is that two similarly equipped decks, viz: MN bearing etc., a Shuggie arm collar but just the one Jelco 750D and cartridge swapped between the two decks should be used to discern the performance difference if any? I have a feeling that quite a number of people would be hard put to detect any performance difference one way or the other? From the safety angle there is only a correct and a wrong earth point and I'm sticking with lower left.

To many who are really "close" to their hobby, a small difference (if at all) can become magnified by extreme enthusiasm - been there and done it myself. No need for anyone to beat themselves up about it.

If lower left is deemed the "best" place, then so be it, but I must admit the comments made about the star earthing track on the board should be taken note of and used accordingly for lowest noise.

Agree with all of that! It is indeed "best practice" and poss one of those things that may or may not make a large difference but will definitely add up to something with other small best practice changes....

Guys,
Is there anything else one can do to make these babies sound better, took dust cover off from underneath the platter, wired PSU up with Kimber PBJ cable and earthed to correct point, took out old PSU and mains board, Isonoe feet on, all lights dis-abled, apart from platter and bearing what else is there to do if anything? Ignore arm and cart as that is being investigated. Oh I forgot, fit better mains power lead to PSU and a better fuse (I shit you not it works) , any ideas peeps?

[Reid Malenfant]
