There was also a burning smell at first - but it passed quickly. Fuse?

Can't really help, sorry. Sounds dodgy though. Give Cyrus a ring, as I said,
they are very helpful.

You're too quick with your help! I was just preparing to post a rather
sheepish message where I explained that I had just learned the
importance of the MM and MC phono switch.

Looks like I got away with that burning smell.

Thanks loads for your assistance though.
