Powered by USB and works great, a little scuffed on the end plate corners and a light scratch on the back (see photos). It has 4 rubber/gel feet on the bottom. I'd be happy to include the pictured J2J interconnect if the buyer wants (it's about 10cm long) Buyer to pay international shipping...

Just measured channel resistance again and faulty channel has changed to 76 ohms while good channel staying still at 66

Quote:   With the channel not working I am getting a difference of resistances between the channels. Left channel (faulty) to ground is 88 ohms while good channel to ground is at 66. Interestingly, when I measured right and left channels the voltage applied by the multimeter made the...

Quote:   I'm guessing I should just replace the cartridge?

Update: Connected each pair of tone arm wires together with a crocodile clip and measured the resistance across the pin and shield of the RCA connectors. Both returned identical results of approx 200 ohms. I am now fairly sure this is a cartridge issue and not the result of my wiring job! Does...

I've just finished recabling a Dual CS503-1 because one of the channels was dead. I have continuity from the start of the tone arm wires right up to the RCA connectors but the problem persists. I have reversed the Left & Right connectors to make sure it is the turntable not the amp (tested with...

OK I think I will just go with the recable and see what happens; as you say the driver is unlikely to be damaged as it does function well most of the time. I'm not really a fan of the Grado cable anyway. I'm praying the issue is not with the solder interface between the cable end and the driver...

Quote:   I would say that there is definitely an issue with the headphones as I bought them from eBay knowing they are in a semi-working condition, with the intention of fixing them (loose connections are quite common so I thought I could recable). I've tested them from a variety of...

I've acquired a pair of Grado SR-60s that are occasionally cutting out on the left channel, but this is easily remedied by just turning the volume up and back down again. I can't seem to artificially produce the cutting out by manipulating the cable in any way, it just happens seemingly at...

BUUFFAALOOOOOO!

I used to use a combination of foobar's freedb component and Mp3Tag, although I still had to search my own artwork. You can use iTunes to get artwork for most albums however, and then copy into folders/tags. I don't think there's one perfect program that will do everything just the way you...
