Nandric, I did not know that Einstein made a phono stage with more than one phono circuit inside. That's a bit more difficult to achieve with tubes than with solid state. (The DSA units are solid state.) I have never seen that particular model of Einstein phono stage for sale or mentioned on the internet. The one we usually see is cylindrical in shape and accommodates exactly one tonearm/cartridge. But I guess you can double up on those cylinders and thereby gain additional inputs. Yes, I think you can run two cylinders off of one Einstein power supply module. This could be done to achieve balanced inputs for a single tonearm or to accommodate two tonearm/cartridges in SE mode. Am I correct (even though I also am no Einstein)?
Halcro, I agree that I too am unlikely to want to use the pitch controls, but the obsessive/compulsive part of me wants my TT101 to be working perfectly on all functions. Perhaps after I re-cap it, the pitch control will repair itself. Or Bill may have to replace the "Fast" switch, which he says he can do.
I've got a total of ten SC3042 chips on order, 5 from each of two different vendors in China. These are "clocks" for the servo, formally known as "624 MHz sine wave differential clock". I ordered from two sources to be more certain of getting the right part from at least one source. Assuming I end up with ten correct pieces, I will want to keep one for myself, but any and all Victor TT81 and 101 users are welcome to the remainder. It's probably best to contact me privately at my Yahoo email address. By the way, anyone can do what I did to find this part; I just Googled the part number "SC3042". You have to be willing to do business with a Chinese person whose command of English is limited (but then again, my command of Chinese is limited to zero).
