Who said you have to listen through headphones???

Yeah, let's get real. What makes you think you have to listen through headphones. You can listen any way you like. I use both speakers and headphones. The easiest way to conduct a valid A/B comparison on my system through speakers is as follows.

An even simpler way to show that the digital process has no audible effect on the sound of vinyl is
to place the Masterlink in its record mode, which sends the signal through its A/D and D/A converters.
Then by simply switching between source and tape on the control preamp a comparison can be made.
There is no audible difference.

This procedure can be used with speakers or headphones simply by putting an LP on the turntable and playing it while switching between tape and source. You can switch every 10-seconds or you can switch every 10-days, whichever you prefer. You are either listening to the turntable directly (source) or you are listening to a digitally processed signal through the Masterlink (tape).

Best regards,
