Come on guy's/gals someone must have a solution or be able to point me at one! t

Hi all Got an Ouverture which will play some discs and not others - all pre recorded from major shop outlets - no problems with cdr's etc - cleaned the lens as described elsewhere - however, the problem persists - do I need to adjust the laser alignment and is it a simple task - haven't looked on the site yet for the service info but have it

I realise it may be a silly question but is the red light illuminated on the passive box? tony

Graham - I can collect in 2 weeks on route plymouth nth worcs if thats any good Tony

If adept with a soldering iron should be no problem - I don't know if the lead is a figure of 8 configuration or of circular aspect with the cores inside - try steve at sounds heavenly he may be of assistance - he's a forum member! tony

Thanks for that Steve - in fact have mounted the preamp in the turntable box with suitable shielding(a piece of shim brass suitably bent up and earthed!) Also using the 12volt motor supply for the preamp with of course a smoothing/noise killer in the supply line! Tony

Hi all Subsequent to sorting an old Sony turntable by fitting an RIAA preamp I am now seeking thoughts on the maximum length of feed cable ie turntable to main unit I am thinking of a separation of about 1.50 - 2.00 m will this work or will extraneous noise be collected? I ask before changing the locational setup and the production of new interconnecting

Hi Just got a mcl2p and am using it with an ouverture directly as do not have a spare pair of lab speakers - its is driven by powerlink mk2 cables but has no facility for an eye product - might have more luck with an ml/mcl converter box - i have details of one in south glos which is available pm me for details if interested! salut Tony

Have just installed an Riaa preamp in an old Sony turntable(it was part of a stacking system - long gone but mother retained the turntable for some long forgotten reason) - this now works flawlessly with an Ouverture/ BC9300! The unit is a Velleman kit K2573 - it needs a 10 - 30v clean dc supply and costs about £10 - £12 - used to be available

In response to Graham 1982 - i have a difficult open plan house with tiled floors etc so hard wire was not an option - i used a maplin wireless systen to tx tv to another 2 tvs both now work well had some probs with modem interference but the modem system i have is a little intelligent in that the tv system is installed and running first then the modem
