Another thumbs WAY up 🤗 for Katanga!  What a spectacular recording!! I too miss the days of used mint-  LPs for $5-$6...😥  
Amp repair
I think the OP touched the wires together, that’s the way I read it. That would indeed short out an amp...I speak from experience. As long as I was in the high-end business, it’s bound to happen...a few times :-) I found a couple of pics of the i... 
Hans Henrik Moerch passed
This is sad news.  I was a Moerch dealer way back in the day.  He was so cool, very intelligent and a great designer.  LOVED audio and analog. R.I.P. Hans Henrik.
