Picked up Dark Side o da Moon today and also got a fresh copy Hotel California. Can't wait get everything set up. Forgot to hit send on this earlier today.
Now, what a deal it was getting everything hooked up and working. Lots of wires and they all seem pretty finicky about where they go.
@UK82 , I got the turntable and receiver hooked up the A/B switch you gave me. When I first turned stuff on the tv worked fine, but when I switched it over to play an album, there was a hum that went away and I thought the tube buffer was causing it. Are the tubes supposed to light up?
Shortly after that, the receiver shut down and flashed "PROTECT". I took the tube buffer out of the equation and tried again, same result. Then I found that I had reversed polarity on the right speaker, but that shouldn't pose a problem other than being out of phase. Fixed that and tried again but it shut off as soon as I tried to increase the volume.
I turned it back on at a lower volume and it continued to play. The right speaker didn't sound as loud as the left and by using the balance knob on the receiver it was readily apparent the right side wasn't getting a good signal. I took the wire off that side and redid the ends. Put em back on and everything worked.
I'll put the tube buffer back in line tomorrow. I've had enough for the day.
