No. That's the very desirable EPC-305MC by the way.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

As long as you can do as geoff suggested, it shouldn't be an issue ! It can be a bugger to set up right lol

Bought it NOS for £60 in the eighties when vinyl had become unfashionable. Bargain! Kept it until about five years ago.i know thats why i asked

There once was an ugly duckling...............
Today i have got the Mission 774 set up and running,i can confidently say without doubt that the Alphason hr-100mcs is well in front,now this could be down to the stock tonearm wire and cable on the mission but it just lacks the detail and airy tone of the Alphason.
You could say and im sure its been said a few times before that its like listening with a cloth over the speakers.
its all there but blunt.
To make sure i tried Baerwald and Stevenson alignment and it didn't make any difference,i also tried the small damping paddle too.
One other thing that bugs me is due to the small headstock area the 2m black doesn't sit parallel to the tonearm which makes setting vta a bit of a pain,the tonearm wand is tail up where's the cartridge is tail down!
So on my turntable its round 1 to the Alphason!
The question is do i re-wire the Mission?

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

That does not sound typical of the 774. It has a lucid character.
