Ok so my RM50 has a problem.
I got a new headshell made by a local guy.
Came out great actually.
Anyway, ever since its been in the new head shell its had problems.
I didn't realize before I plugged it in, that during the installation into the new headshell that both the power AND standby buttons had been switched to the on position.
So as soon as I plugged it it, it gave a pop sound.
Since then, its been REAL finicky. It'll work fine, for a little bit sometimes. Then bam its 1/4 of the volume and just sounds like a tin can.
I've changed EVERY tube, and checked every fuse. No luck there.
Whats strange is if I just hit some chords and kinda mess with the preamp volume, its like it shocks it to life.
It does this with every mod I have, so its not the mods.
Anyone have any ideas before I take it in and spend a bunch of $$?
