Well, i had heavy noise and interference from rain and truck. Called on 7180
for 20 minutes no replies. Thats ok. I tried. Heard a very strong ssb signal
that was on 7184. And they complain about how wide AM is! I had to dial down
half a kc to get clear enough to listen for replies. If you heard
T-storms rolling through here atm, the remnants of Fred. Should be clear in
the next half hour. So far most of the noise is staying to the north and
west.

Jim,
The LTSpice plot shows why the stock Astatic 2-stage pre-amp with its ~
470K-ohm input Z does little to extend low-end response.

testing several D-104 cartridges of different vintage, I've come to the

I used about 15 megs of grid-leak with a D-104 in the early 70s, and I was

peak around 3 KHz. This makes brighter, clearer audio, whic
