Avery pleasant evening and thanksto all for coming(plenty of booze and pepsi on tap as well)
Re the fiddling,I have moved the speakers back about three inches and theres very little toe-in,I've also put some rdc ? cones under the turntable plinth.Also in a relatively short space of time,I've renewed my arm,new speaker cable and silver jumpers,so one must assume theres someburn in time there.
Had a bit of trouble with the arm(sometimes it stuck)but adjusted the anti-skate with the help of the hi-fi Sound HSF 75test record,tracks all the bias/inner/outer et-al tracks with very little buzzing now and it has'nt stuck since.
I also wound the sound upwhen the neighbours were out recently.I generallyhave the volume at about 9 o/c,which for general listening is about right,for me(depending on recording). However, the first time I had it at 10 o/cthen a couple of days later I had it at 12 o/c,both times for about an hour and half.Thanks to the wammer who did the same(earlier thread)as I must assume this has helped as well.
