    Mine Mustang V6 2010 Candy Red, with European taillights, amber blinkers 😜 not red light blinkers sequential US 😭

    It's an electronics engineer buddy who made me the plans of the box with resistors and a control transistor, because it was necessary to demultiplex the electrical information of the Osram system with LEDs which make position lights, stop lights and flashing lights sequential on the same 3 led bulbs. Then the turn signal signal was sent to an amber bulb, via a power relay instead of one of the two reversing lights.

     

    Edit: I forgot to say that the car is imported from the USA in 2011, but not by Ford and here in Europe the American red flashing lights are prohibited: so we modify the lights in European version ourselves for the homologation and the movement certificate

    Hi @MéloManiac

     

     

    Here's what you can afford before you go home (get well soon man)  👍

     

    If you want to discover Jazz, with a wonderful book "Jazz from John Fordham", that will make you discover chronologically the history, the instruments, the musicians and the records. You can choose essential Jazz records according to a musician, an era, a style, which is great for a beginner and the others! 


    Once you have chosen the disc(s) you want to buy, you can search with discogs if there are modern reissues and/or if you want to buy a used version!

     

    I don't know if you are French-speaking : there is a French version, but I don't know if there are Dutch or German versions

    Hi @MeloManiac

     

    For these two artists, try to find these two great albums:

     

    You will make two superb trips: the first will take you to the American West of the time of the cowboys and the second will make you visit the streets and the lively bars of Tijuana in Mexico: a change of scenery guaranteed

    Hi,

     

    Arrrgggg! @KROCK I'm jealous, a year or two ago, I almost bought this superb Dave Brubeck in front of the Pan-Am plane : LP Mint, and then I hesitated and it was sold: I really should find a copy for sale one of these days

    Hi @MeloManiac

    Funny, I read your message tonight. You know that I live in the north of the Camargue, this afternoon I passed by the Méjanes estate on my way to the Vacarès pond. To clarify, the domain of Méjanes was the domain of Mr. Paul Ricard: cheers, friend!

    For info and precision, Camargue races is not a Bullfight. The bull is the hero of the race, he alone is applauded in the arena, no one hurts him, the raseteurs race with him to take trophies hanging from his horns.

    Making rear port a front port klf20

    Hi @Got_Horns

     

     

    You can close the rear vents and make 2 vents under the speaker, then put a stand or spikes to raise it. It may be necessary to change the length of the tubes a little, but for that it will be necessary to experiment.

     

     

    You can even make a foot that sends the wave forward and will be less sensitive to the back wall.

     

    Screenshot-2022-06-29-at-14.59.40.png

     

    Everything is invisible except the new foot or the spikes: if you're a good handyman, it can fit perfectly. The only drawback is that the speaker will be 1 or 1 1/2 inches higher.

     

     

    the result may look like the one on the right or the one on the left

    What shell I tell you ...it happend again .....😂 a further MC cart is on it´s way to my home ....

    .....I bought an Onlife Research ( Today's Dynavector ) Ultimo DV 380 / 20B from 1977 NoS MC High Output (2 mVolt ) for 47K OHm / 100 pf Load MI / MM , probably the first High Output MC in the world with Byrillium Cantilever and Shibata grind, checked already everything the Trichord Phono Pre will set to MM Low 2 > 3 mV = 52 dB gain, so should fit .

    Hi,

     

    Haaaa! one of my dreams when I started serious hifi in 1978, as the Ultimo was too expensive I bought an Ortofon MC10 + transformer STM72 in 1979. Then as I started working in 1980 I offered myself one of the first Dynavector: a Karat 23R with the ruby cantilever, what a marvel of softness, but very fragile !

    K55V distortion

    if there is no debris between the diaphragm and the phase plug. You disassemble the diaphragm and clean the passage of the coil between the plates of the magnetic system with a small thin paper.

     

    nettoyage-entrefer-jbl-122a.jpg

     

    You will take the opportunity to examine the coil: see if it rubs in the passage between the plates, see if it is swollen and or burned: if it has heated it may rub between the plates of the magnetic system and make a small friction noise.

     

    for electrical and sound tests, even at low level: I advise you to put a 10, 20 or 30 µF bipolar safety capacitor in series depending on the driver's impedance

    Hello !

     

    Yes, like @CWOReilly checked if there is no dust or debris at the level of the diaphragm. 

     

    here the cut of a K55V (I don't know which model you have K55M, V ...) there is little space between the diaphragm and the phasing plug: a single piece of debris can make noise, even at low level.

    @Full Range & @MicroMara I have a sort of 881S modern it's a Stanton 890SA, with VividLine de LPGear  : very Good sound 🤩

     

    nota : 890SA it's a same body from 881E, but just little more mV and mH =  it' a good body, but he have a bad stylus DJ:  a simple method to make a "new" 881E it's to change a bad original DJ stylus by agood stylus Shibata or VividLine .

    You can find them at LP Gear or LP Tunes ; they also make ViVid Line Iron Moving versions for 681EEE

     

     

    @KROCK & @Dave1291 When I was child in the 60s, I play with the heavy cast iron pedal of the Singer from my mother for turn the mecanism: She was dressmaker 😀

    Hi,

     

    A new diamond on my VM700, the 50SH replaces the 40ML to make an Audio Technica VM750SH, I bought it from our German friends at HiFi Phono House (very good price for Europeans). The result is superb, with nice deep bass and a very nice midrange. I will be able to enjoy a lot of beautiful vinyl records.

     

    Good listening friends
