Has the set up of the Avant changed? Check that the sockets are assigned correctly. Sometimes removing something can upset things!

They have not invited me!! I used to go on quite a bit but had to change email as my beeb account closed and since then, don't visit that much. The old Courtyard was good but the forum has never really caught fire. Not that friendly and takes ages to get an answer, if at all. It needs to have some B&O input to make it special - that would be

They are 3cm long from the tip to the base of the head - 1.6cm is threaded, the rest smooth. The threaded part is 0.5cm in diameter with the head being 0.8cm across.

So despite the fact that he is unfamiliar with B&O, he is qualified to say that B&O turntables are not that good! The 4002 was actually converted vt a group of US audiophiles into a top deck in the 80s. Yes, it is expensive but it is also better built than any low or mid end deck available today. He is however quite correct that the deck will
