It took so long I forgot who to thank over here for some advice; Garman?

For something else to do I tore the line cord and RCA patch cord out of the table and installed IEC, Vampire RCA's and a ground/binding post off the cartridge ground. I probably won't hear any difference but it helps justify the expense of cartridge upgrades.LOL.

Best of all there's so much music you come across in used records that you wouldn't spend $13 on as a CD but thoroughly enjoy for 50 cents to a couple of bucks. And the old classical Monos. Opera. Paul Potzki and his Polka Putz's.

The downside is that now I'll have to build a wider equipment rack.

You provide your own switch, fuse, wire IEC and RCA jacks. I must have about $170 in it with the Hammond box. There are several complete phono stages from Parasound and NAD, etc for about the same money but you don't get to holler "YEAH" when you chase away the last "bug" and the thing works.
