It’s OK David- I only used the purest copper connections to the measuring gear in order to avoid accidental contamination of the system. And all my kit is sufficiently old that the electrons and holes have long overcome their well-known initial mobility hesitation that can render the sound of brand new equipment vulnerable to external influences from objective measurement.

There were some decent pre-amps available, notably the Lentek and the Ortofon MCA76.
