Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

Check your mains voltage...

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.
