In Reply to: How to get the best out of Garrard 301 & Thorens TD-124 posted by JayTea on February 21, 2009 at 04:59:18:
our house runs right at the top of the UK 230volts +10% tolerance, 252/3 volts.
The Garrards run fast, I can't get 16rpm properly on my Lenco and we've blown 5 KT88 output tubes in 3 years. You can toast bread on them.
Steps are in hand to reduce the votage to the tubes and longer term a power supply for the Garrards might be an option.
There's a high attrition rate in other electric stuff as well. The house wiring is ok.
Not encouraging I'm afraid.
