In Reply to: Apparently TAS Is Unaware Of The Resurgence In Vinyl ... posted by reelsmith. on April 9, 2016 at 10:17:45:
It's been difficult for reviewers and the general public attending audio shows to even listen to CD as the room set-ups are only dealing in computer audio. So if CD is as rare as the Dodo then heaven help vinyl.
I am a bit surprised when reviewers who get all their equipment for free don't have a turntable to at least test the phono stage.
In my situation where I pay the dealer asking price for the items - even I have a pretty respectable turntable rig and can test the quality of the phono stage somewhat reasonably.
The problem becomes for me a connectivity issue - as a SET guy - most SET amps do not have AES connectors. SO I recently reviewed a DAC (coming soon) with AES outputs but I can't test it because my amps don't have the connector.
Surely they can suck it up and get a basic $399 Project turntable. They're actually pretty darn good and don't seem out of place on relatively entry level integrated amplifiers using SS phono cards.
I don't think the manufacturers would be too upset if they were told ahead of time that the phono stage could not be reviewed.
