Some time ago I built interconnect cable kit #6 from HI-FI Collective. It's been in my system now for some time and has been used in quite a few situations. Firstly, it's been used to connect an Arcam rDAC to my Roksan K2, secondly, it's been used to connect my Cambridge Audio 752BD to my Arcam AVR380 and lastly at the...
What I really like about Rega decks is that they are very easy to upgrade. In fact there is no need to perform all upgrades in one go, one can start with the TT PSU, then the platter and sub-platter and so on. This means a high performing deck can be purchased slowly in steps. In fact my first attempt at...

Firstly, after much reading I purchased the TT motor control unit; which is available from many retailers at reasonable cost.

The positioning of the motor and circuit led to some noise, and only earthing to motor prevented it. It...
After a long pause, I've finally started to get back into analog electronics. I'm using the Introduction to Electronics and this blog as a way to help myself back up the curve. Below is my first working circuit, the good old class A amp. Twenty years ago I could have thrown together fairly complex circuits in short order. However, now it...
There are a few good books and websites that I recommend for people starting out with electronics. All about circuits Website that has several electronics books available online for free , these cover, DC theory, AC theory, semiconductors and digial electronics. DC covers voltages, currents, ohms law, conductors, insulators, batteries. Further it also covers network theory AC covers complex numbers,...
