When a fuse blows the filament vaporises and deposits itself on the inside of the tube. If the fuse gets hot enough this will conduct and render the fuse unfit. Ceramic fuses are therefore filled with quartz sand or similar to prevent this happening and are referred to as HRC fuses ( high rupturing ...

Naim cd3 doesnt have a digital out so you must have added your own

I did

Naim CD3 through MF M1DAC suits me fine. I find the CD3 on its own a bit anemic and Les's mods were a bit out of my reach.

Thank you for the info Ant. I often wondered if any were made to mount at 222mm. Nice turntable Thermionic. I've just recently put my friends 401 in a birch ply plinth and mounted a 12" PU7 to keep it company. Cartridge is a Denon DL S1. It's an early 401 where you need to press on the speed tr...

I might get another one day. They were always a nice looker, much better than the Hadcock. I reckon one would probably do ok on a Lenco with a nice V15 on the end of it.

Yep, still using the Studio 4s in the upstairs system. TLS80s downstairs.

I could never set the cartridge correctly with the Mayware on my Empire. I assumed the geometry was just wrong but it should have worked. I gave up in the end and put the deck away when I went cd. Years later when we were having a clear out I threw the whole thing in the skip, Grado cartridge includ...

It was a beautiful turntable that Gale and it was 1974. I like acrylic for its self damping properties. I've just picked up a big lump of delrin for my next turntable build. 100mm thick which will be reduced to 95mm or so after final machining. With its inherent properties it's likely to be good stu...

I had a Mayware on my first Empire. I didn't realise when I bought it that the geometry was wrong. The Empire suits Linn geometry arms at 211mm mounting distance. My current Empire has a Spacearm fitted which works well. I had to machine the arm pillar to get it to fit the Empire arm mounting which ...
