Silver Wire Global Online Supplies - Product Line AG5484
This is the real thing whit no price inflated by “FIFI shops”
---------------------------------------------------------
Nice build coming there.
For anyone in the UK a great supplier of 999 silver ( Emergency Silver !!! they call it ) is :-
RASHBEL of Hatton Wall, London EC1
They have a site if you can't get there...
...and have been most helpfull for me.
They sell silver & gold wire, flat-strip etc. in many different sizes puritys & alloys VERY CHEAP !!!
I bought some 3mm dia wire recently, 999 silver, at pocket-money prices.
Check the FTSE silver prices in the newspaper.
They sell slightly above this price.
Any length, any size, and any combinations thereof.
Anyone who needs precious metals...

I did discus Advent in he past
After 3 years of use and I mean USE capitals on my TT and around the house is still very strong.
Silver Insulated Wire Global Online Supplies - Product Line AG5494
This is the one I have used.
Although maybe this should be in the "Swap" Forum😉
For £10 a meter at the time probably the best upgrade on my crappy TT.(RPM4)
OFF TOPIC
Got rid of cheap and nasty Pnoplugs on the base (PS if you got cheap phono like project)
It takes about 1/2 hour work) and run balanced.
The 5-meter length is plenty for the Job.
Back on topic I had half an hour to play with balanced power up is ok now and go 15V at RIAA ( 😀 say ok now as usual short under nose is always the hardest to find😀)
Scope at output is a pretty straight line
No time to hock up input.
But so far Noise is really low especially as on the bench near fluorescent light
So far so good

Yes we did 🙂 and now we went on to https://maps.google.com/maps?q=ital...e,+Province+of+Venice,+Veneto,+Italy&t=m&z=13
While you are where I would like to be right now.
I am trying to get a 1/2 decent test rig no much point in throwing good money on it as I relay on my earring any way.
Your balanced is on a piece of wood and no screening for now and if you compare the 2graphs the 50 Hz was there before.
So the second is just like RIAA response sorts off (sort of because I can not say system is calibrated at all)
Normally I am happy to just plug in Oscilloscope and have a look at Square response.
Got to work this out for balanced input....
Any way forget about all that and enjoy you hols
Ears tell me is pretty good so after 11 days in row at day job (yes taxman going to rape me this month) I got 4 off to box it up
Is going to be a good one😀
When are you back?
I am Going to post more then

Shoes are the thing to get from there if you got the time
Just get mesured up and they send them to your home by the time you are back.
Italian Burocracy Permitting that is😉

I can not wait to read the full review 🙂 now writing from https://maps.google.com/maps?q=sanr...+Province+of+Imperia,+Liguria,+Italy&t=m&z=14 (p.s. I think Sanremo is a bit of a bommer (at this time of the year)) 🙂 This is my last stop in Italy (this holyday) And the most expensive internet ever (10Euro/6Hour) for very low throughput (no skype video posible).
