Vinyl Asylum Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ. |
|
Folks,Here is question and it is really only for seriously comitted Vinyl Asylum Inmates, that is those who mount multiple arms on their turntables and have perhaps even several tables and a large and wide ranging music collection....
What kind of features would you want on a "final" Phonostage, circuit choices and sound quality are assumed resolved, we are talking merely of "creature comforts". Note, we are not talking about an "archival" studio type device, but rather one that is meant for the home use.Here are my thoughts so far (all of these remote controlled of course):
Multiple selectable Inputs (how many? for me 3 to 4)
Switchable loading for MM/MC (C/R), seperate assignment per input
Switchable MM/MC Gain per input
Mono Switch
Switchable EQ for all known MicroGrove records
Switchable "de-clicker" in analogue hardware (not digital)?
Do we really need EQ settings for 78's?
Anything else anyone can think of?
Ciao T
PS, I hope this does violate the rules, if it does, mod please delete
