My LP12 has been suffering from a bit of extra static/pop/crack and I haven't been able to work out what is causing it. I have now noticed that the headshell/finger arm hums/feeds back why I touch it, a light touch creates a slight pop/crack. Any ideas? This is stopping me from listening to it which is a real shame. Thanks

If I have an off the shelf bridge rectifier that is rated at 30A has it been constructed with 4 diodes that are rated at 15A? ie, if I build my own discrete rectifier from 4 20A rated diodes would that be a replacement for a 40A bridge? Many thanks Dan

Piano white. Excellent condition. ?200 the pair or ?200 BOGOF (Leeds)

It has become important to me that there is a similarity between the sources that I use. Vinyl is my main source but I have considerable amount of CD's too and will continue to use the CD format. However my CD5X is different to my Linn Sondek LP12 at reproducing music. I have therefore to alter speaker position etc and even then the differences are quite apparent. I am wondering if there is a CD player that shares a similar tonal response to my existing LP12. I like how my LP12 sounds now fitted with AO modified RB251 tonearm. Sole Subchassis and Nagaoka MP-50 with Heed Questar phono pre amp. I really like it's rich midrange and how the soundstage gives the sense of the speakers not being there. Instruments are so realistic and vocals are beautifully reproduced. I listen to mainly Jazz music and progressive rock. I have ProAc Tablette 2000 speakers driven by a Naim Pre and Power Amp Set up. Thanks

Just wondering if anyone has tried this and what kind of results they got? It seems many go for a DAC / pre with actives.

Guys, Couple of question with regard to turntables. I've aquired a Stanton DJ deck (bargain off the bay) So I'm looking for a good value cartridge? Haven't a clue what the popular, well reveiwed ones are these days? I suspect the Stanton will evetualy end up in my office/studio (I have lots of DJ stuff) and I'm gravitating to a LP12 for the main system, been cautiously looking at a few but they're often without arms or cartridges, what are the good partners again without going crazy dosh-wise? I want to focus on buying a pristine deck. Thanks, Martin

Hi All I'm currently embarking on a round of improvements and its the turn of the front end. I use an Audio Aero Capitole Mk1, with which I am very pleased; its given excellent service for 9 years or so. I was wondering if anyone out there had any ideas on upgrades to the unit and what can be achieved with a some careful modifications. Cheers Matt
