The literature that came with the turntable included pontifications of Ivor Tiefenbrun. One of the things he claimed was that any electroacoustic transducer in the room other than the speakers would degrade sound quality - even a telephone! I remember reading that and thinking that this guy was just a highly eccentric individual. I didn't realize that wacky claims like this would become mainstream in high-end audio. Regarding PRaT, I've even seen that term being used in connection with amps and preamps. :D ------------------------------------------------------------------------ andy_c's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3128 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103238
