Well I too like my music but I don't think I've anywhere near as many records as that! Nice to see you've done some research as to the model of Beolink you need, you'll be just fine with the one you've ordered. The loudness function can be really annoying can't it? For tuning purposes you don't really need an aeriel, just

Bugger Ah well, ask here first next time Jumbo. Where abouts in Leeds are you? Chris.

Wow Kris, judging by the photo's you really love your music. Glad you've got it sorted out, it really isn't too difficult to bend a bit of metal is it? The MMC3 is a really nice cartridge and a definate step up from the MMC4 (I have one of each). Personally I would keep it and play it into the ground until it needs replacing, when that time

I was going to suggest something similar myself Graham but the OP mentioned the mechanism was broken. In retrospect I suspect you may be right as I cannot for one moment think the actual mechanical parts have failed. It does sound like the stock dealer answer that was given in all honesty. Chris.

Very sorry to hear of your problems Jumbo Isn't it typical that a serious issue crops up just the wrong side of warranty?

It simply levers out but quite a bit of force is required as it will have become stuck over time. A bit of a leap of faith is all that's required. Chris.

I have a leaf spring I can send you, saves Graham cannibalising his deck. PM me your address if you need it Chris.

wirralsimon: Alex: I can listen to music through my stereo and still scrobble it with Last.FM. I haven't got a clue what you are talking about! Simon Simon, you have to shift your paradigms for Alex sometimes, he's one of us but not always on the same planet. I've no idea what he's on about either. ""whisper"""

j0hnbarker: 'What Difference Does it Make?' by The Smiths. Really enjoying listening to The Smiths at the mo'. Will have to get 'Hatfull of Hollow' on vinyl out in a bit... Now you're talking. I'd say "ditto" but I hate that term ever since being made to sit through that queazefest of a film "Ghost" You've
