Yeah, it’s not subjected to a ton of stress. Can’t see it being an issue.
WOW, wonder why it's way more than the $39 I was quoted. Regardless, I would've done the same thing with gluing back on.
I reached out to MoFi and they suggested supergluing the hex wrench to the screw. There's not enough surface area to get a tight enough hold.
I would have said superglue the wrench to the screw as well. Not really sure otherwise! Hope the factory can help!A few weeks back, I posted about a broken o-ring dampener by the headshell. I received the o-ring and went to remove the grub screw that holds the headshell in place and stripped the little hex screw.
The grub screw seems to be 1.3mm and all of the stripped screw extractors are for larger screws. Also not too keen on the idea of trying to use a power tool....
They reached out to the factory to see if they had any suggestions, but wanted to know if anyone here has dealt with something similar? I think I might just take it into a shop but wanted to check here first (since the only shop I'd trust is about an 80-mile round trip).
Thanks!
The 1-8 load switches should be fine they way they are, the MT runs at 47K and the gain should be fine as well.
You might need to look at the settings/manual for the 2 RCA Inputs, one is for a Hight Output and one is for Low Output cartridges, but I can't remember what the values are, just to know.
I've got a JD9 as well. It can be a frustrating beast, it can also be very rewarding when you find the sweet spot. I've been trying to tame mine again after the latest speaker upgrade. I'd try 47k as stated above. For the gain, start high and put on a record you know with combos of slow, airy parts as well as congested, fast passages. I like Us and Them by Pink Floyd. If you get any undesirable noise in the high end, back the gain off.
you answered my next question haha. was going to ask if i need to power things down every time i switch the dip switches. i'll mute my speakers to be safe.
My experience as well..It’s funny but I always feel my system sounds miles better with the phono giving lower gain and cranking the volume on my amplifier. That said, while my phone is no slouch the power amp really is the star of my system so perhaps that figures
yea weirdly with some quick tests, I do think that no gain + low output + cranking up my amp sounds the best so far.It’s funny but I always feel my system sounds miles better with the phono giving lower gain and cranking the volume on my amplifier.

My max volume with the vinyl setup is around 11 o'clock on the dial.. when I switch to balanced CD/Streaming I barely hit 9 o'clock..
I'm at similar ratios as well. How do you determine where your line level ends and gain begins?
Ahhh, I guess I need to check out my manual then! I'll be surprised if I can find it. Not at all surprised PS Audio specs it out though.
