Did you know that the first Volvo 1800s were built by Jensen Motors at their West Bromwich factory? (One day, I’ll figure out how to make money from trivia.)

Really? Volvo had a reputation for being a good, tough, car... Jensen, not so much... Although I'd love an Interceptor with a 440 Chrysler in it! Give my Chevelle SS 396 a run for the money! :P
 
Good afternoon all. Wow, the morning really got away from me! Spent a lot of time tweaking the fan settings for the new PC fans/heatsink... then I decided to go ahead and prepare the 1959 Magnavox Setup and TV entertainment center for when the Yamaha YP-B2 comes back. I mounted the soul speak line level/amp switcher on the left (amplifier/control) cabinet inside, as well as mounting the WiiM Pro nicely and running the digital optical out from the TV a little more neatly. I also ran the external phono stage RCAs through the back of the cabinet, and into the SoulSpeak as well, so all that needs to be done is plug the turntable power and RCAs to the external stage when the TT is fixed.

I tried to hook up my Schiit Magni headphone amp, but the damn thing wont power on. Think the power brick crapped out. Oh well. Eventually, I'll get a headphone amp out here so that I'll have full capabilities on both this setup and the 1980s setup!

I'm thinking I might experiment and do an A/B sound comparison this afternoon....

I'd say so! Doesn't Audio Technica own Signet? Or used to? :)

From Google's AI-
Yes,
Signet was a sub-brand or subsidiary of Audio-Technica.
Operating primarily during the 1970s and 1980s, Signet was marketed as a high-end, more exclusive line of phono cartridges compared to the standard Audio-Technica branded products. While Audio-Technica was widely available, Signet products were often sold through specialized, higher-end audio retailers.
Many Signet cartridge models were based on Audio-Technica's own technology (often sharing similar designs with higher-end AT cartridges) but with different styling and

I have some kinda signet cart from the 80s laying around, doesn't have a stylus at all... wonder if its the kind where the end user (me) can install new ones or is that a pro thing or juice not worth the squeeze?

Here, just grabbed it:

Listening to one of mt fave check-out records- Gino Vanelli "Powerful People"... a dynamic, exciting album that shows off Gino's poppish (?) talent- And A&M recordings were always the best in the rock world! Also one of the few companies that had poly liners, none of this paper shiit! :)
Damn this sounds good! :)
