Phono preamp in Sharp receiver - solved!
Problem solved. The ****ing BSR cartridge is ceramic. I had
forgotten such things were ever manufactured. (I saved the cartridge before destroying the BSR tt, and just tested it. Sigh. Perfect. For finger on needle, NG for playing /records/ of course... Cart comes with a (5th) ground wire.) So now I have to buy a new stylus, and figure out how to attach the BSR cart housing to a Sony tt arm. Or not, and just use it as a super cool retro AM/line in system. Thanks to all who helped! -- Any mental activity is easy if it need not be subjected to reality. |

Sorry; just read what you wrote about being in a place where getting such stuff that's easy for most of the rest of us is damn near impossible.

The Sony turntable HAS a magnetic cartridge, and I just bought two beautiful new Chinese styli /snicker/ for it. It looks and runs like new. I was messing around for fun and because if someone does not want the tt with the Sony system, I could sell it with the Sharp. (I am selling all the stuff I do not use, no matter how cute.) As for the "cheap preamp", read the thread for where I live and why it is not an option. As for room inside the Sharp, yes, I could keep a couple of hamsters in it. Those BSR changers take up a fair bit of space. -- Any mental activity is easy if it need not be subjected to reality. |
