I got this, but not on the day. I got it a week later online from Juno Records.
First glitter record I’ve ever had. It‘s actually a nice quality pressing.
I have just purchased this phono power supply. It is for powering both turntable and phono stage simultaneously.

The only reason I’ve bought it is to free up a mains outlet and feed my TT and pre amp from one mains outlet via this...
I’ve voted ‘yes, but’.
I‘m 100% happy with my source components and amplification, I know my speakers and my living room are the weakest link. I haven’t measured my room response, have no room correction or DSP software but subjectively to me it is mostly excellent. I just know it won’t be...
Remastering is essentially changes to EQ and dynamic range compression. there can be changes made to noise reduction if the music was originally analogue.
Sometimes remasters are subjectively worse to listen to and sometimes they are better, it just depends on the source material and who’s...
I would set the volume dial to zero when using the input selector switch. That should prevent any nasty feedback sounds from reaching your speakers and ears.
My Sony CD Player which I’ve had for 25 years has a puck as part of it’s ’Fixed Pick Up Mechanism’ in which the disc moves over the stationary laser, rather than the other way around. It won’t work without the puck.
The way I do it may be considered archaic, but I use an old CD recorder. It’s a fully digital process and has to be done in real time, but it works brilliantly. I just rip the recorded disc to my computer afterwards. Recording onto a CD-RW means I can erase the disc and reuse.
One of the things I love about vinyl is the ability to be able to connect with memories.
The album pictured used to belong to my father. He is no longer with us, he was a Kim Wilde fan and I actually grew up with these records as a kid. I’ve inherited his entire collection and playing a record...
I’ve often drawn similar conclusions. I’ve heard some very expensive setups in dedicated rooms and have been less than impressed.
I once attended a Linn factory tour and heard their full Klimax system with both digital and vinyl front ends. It was about £80k worth of stereo in their purpose...
I have some Pro-Ject products, ranging from a very basic Elemental turntable through to a Debut Pro turntable and a Phono Box S2 Ultra phono pre amp.
I have no experience with their other box components but I can say the following about what I do have.
The Phono Box S2 Ultra phono pre seems...
That’s it! It’s the same for me, I find it amazing that such an old and crude technology can sound as good as it does.
My goal with vinyl has always been to have it sound as close to a digital source as possible and I have found that very satisfying.
