Yes, there are audiophiles who still love vinyl. They, of course, need all the cruft that vinyl needs. The issue I have is your claim that the TP is not a pre-amp without including a statement about phono-level inputs, RIAA eq curves, etc. Yes, it does not replace a classic pre-amp is that is what you need. But for a large number of folks, all they want is volume and mute, and thus they do *not* need a preamp, the Transporter (or a Duet/Receiver/SB Classic) is all they need. I will admit that after the first month, I have not used the big knob on my Transporter. Tone controls, that is a subject best moved to the Audiophile section, they are by no means mainstream this century. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
