.....either you do it or you get somebody else to, but there's any number of
ways to attenuate a rampant 'vinyl' signal it seems (pending the arrival of
some Alps pots - see elsewhere)!

See this whole side recording I did last night:

And here's the same side I did just now:

The *only* thing that is different between the two recordings is the cart I
used in each case - the first one is an AT OC5 with an output of 0.4mV; the
second is an Ortofon MC200U with an output of only 0.09mV!

Surprising, ain't it? I thought it might work but not to such an extent!!

:-)

OK, that's all - back to what you were doing!!
