Plenty of I/O that I actually use, e.g. 2x Tape I/O - one for computer (iMac / M-Audio used to record vinyl and play back internet radio) and the other for the R2R.
Plenty of power for my needs.
$4000 deck virtually untouched bought on ebay for 350 bucks. The way this thing handles tape is just lovely. Weighs a ton, with balanced and unbalanced I/O.
Upgraded from a DL-160, retains all the fun of that cart, but adds a silky smoothness to everything that's just sublime. Acoustic guitar in particular is just breathtaking with the right recording. No one talks about this cartridge, I don't know why because it's killer!
Great looking classic Rega with a few upgrades (sorry Roy!): Groovetracer Subplatter (Reference) Groovetracer Counterweight Groovetracer Acrylic Platter Cardas Rewire on tonearm TTWeights Record Weight
Nice upgrade from the internal stage in the Rotel Pre, hooked up with Transparent Audio (Music Link) cables, sounds lively with good solid bass in my system.
Great little monitor, can handle whatever I throw at it with ease.
Got two of these, work extremely well with the 685s, they keep up even on fast passages. Fun with movies too!
- Music Hall Cruse Control 2.0
Accurate speed control for my P25 for 300 bucks. Bargain!
Power conditioner from APC, can't comment on any major sound differences, but in a recent storm it did a wonderful job of regulating fluctuating voltage and keeping everything running just fine.
From Phono EQ to Pre, and from Pre to Power
