Hi Nicks,
I am in the Detroit suburbs too and spanking new member of audiogon, tho I have been reading up for a long time. If you still need help right away, go visit Harry @ Audio Dimnesions on Woodward in Royal Oak. Great guy.
He is about the only guy into real analog in the area as far as I know and you definitely want to know him. I am sure he can help you with a fix. If I stop there this week I will give him a heads up that you might stop by, in case you do.
If I can be of help, drop me a line.
I am just freshly getting into Vinyl and I have to tell you it is habit forming. Addictive. Practically living in these forums now. But having a great time and spinning records every day now.
