Works Great. I used short flat head screws through counter sink washers in the motor board and small neodymium magnets from (www.kjmagnetics.com) in a slightly countersunk hole with gorilla glue or epoxy. rough up the back side of the magnet with a file for good adhesion. To mark the location for the screws put some chalk on the magnets and move the grill around in the space. Put the screws in the middle of the white chalk smudges.

Sorry. The sale has been put off for now.

Selling for a good friend. I will ad some pictures and a detail description soon. Asking $1,500.

Nice darts. I also have some hammerheads. Thanks for the valuation update. I had no idea they had value. Good luck with the sale.

Before I got the step up transformer I used the RIAA applied digitally with MM and high output MC cartridges. After the transformer, MC cartridges with the phono stages in both my preamps sounded a bit better. The fact that my MC cartridges are of much better quality than my MM cartridges also pays a part. Unfortunately, my current ADC does not have the ability to handle moving coil cartridges. I have not yet found a quiet enough microphone preamp to bring the MC signal to the ADC. I will keep looking

Was the poster from the estate of Wiley Thomas. I am confused.

There are firewire adapters for the mac plug. On the TCI used firewire for my external drive and usb for the interface or vice versa. The interface should not share a bus with anything else. See this for good info on all things digital. http://www.computeraudiophile.com/

I have used several DAC and DAC/ADC combinations with Audirvana and Pure Vinyl. Currently there is a Lynx Hilo in my main system. The Hilo is the best I have tried so far at $2,400. As for RIAA correction, PV RIAA applied digitally is my preference for MM cartridges. The Hilo does not have enough gain for MC cartridges, so a MC tube phono preamp or a MM tube phono preamp and step up produce my the best recordings to date. This most likely a function of the fact that my MC cartridges, phono stages

Any idea what caused the stain? What is the current finish? If the stain is something that penetrated the wood it will be difficult to eliminate. A light sanding will give you an idea of how deep it goes. A new application of dark stain will help hide damage. I think the best results will come from a complete sanding of all finished surfaces and a reapplication of stain. Given that the stain penetrated, I am guessing the finshing is a oil based stain rather than a harder shell type of finish. Sand

Very nice and also inspiring. I have a piece of cherry waiting for my 1200 as well. I think I will try some dovetail joints. Can you post the measurents?
