I bought some 2SJ109BL from a guy named Gary at DIYAudio. Something expensive. Once at home checked and everything was perfect according to the readings he had made and Toshiba's specifications.

Managed not to blow anything up, as the pass ono requires opening the top to access the MC settings and add a jumper for setting gain 🤦♂️ at least the cart was pretty easy to install due to threaded mounting holes and the cart pins actually lining up directly with the headshell pins.
gratuitous doggie pics!
Last night we made pizza with mozzarella, parmesan, scallion, garlic hot peppers, pancetta and egg.
Tonight, I made this recipe and really enjoyed it.
