I keep coming back to this recording, nice reference recording in many ways and an odd performance in other ways. Before that, just the comment that if you like the music style, L'oiseau-Lyre has just some fantastically quiet vinyl, with tons of dynamics
Craig, check out the owner's manual for the Ayre P-5xe phono stage for one such rewiring scheme. I just use a 5-pin DIN then either isolated RCA jacks or XLRs.
They are TE Mate-N-Lok. I rather like them: http://www.te.com/usa-en/plp/mate-n-lok/ZndJ.html I am using DX4s. I could resize the compression chamber with some blocks and retro fit the PM-4As easily enough though. Do they come up reasonably on the used market?
Well, as you can tell color matching is hard - as is photographing color differences. Trying to choose between the four swatches here for some grills and having a hard time because the wood looks different in various lighting.. I am leaning towards the far left (towards the window). None really match anyways, so could do black. Oh also, a bunch of these. Pretty amateur but they should look nice enough. I have a mounting scheme I am hatching.
