Speaking of black boxes...
Looks like proper equipment. Good to see a subsonic filter too.
Project X8? You weren't tempted by a Technics then?

I was Martin,
but the better reviews won out.
The Balanced Thing is a big deal for me too, from experience it really makes a difference?
Fanboying too for my Ghost+ XLR cables, so any opportunity to use them in my system as possible is a real plus.
My pre has XLR inputs as well, why not use 'em!
Low level phono signals seemed the biggest potential sufferer of "noise on the line", so the "Science Bit" makes sense to me.

Comes fitted with an Ortofon Quintet Blue cartridge,
Will enjoy it, but the Arm can take some seriously spendy cartridges (according to Michael Fremer's review) so thats one to keep an eye on going forward.
All good.

yes makes sense from a belt and braces pov - there's no reason not to use balanced connection if it's available. I think in ten years or maybe less most new domestic equipment will be balanced or have the option of it.I was Martin,

Would be nice, seems unlikely tho.
Guess theres a reason its a bit of a "niche" thing?
In Pro circles, its already there, general populace Spotify users though, not so sure.
Shame,
guess like HDCD and SACD, a good idea that never really caught on mass market?

Makes sense when phono cartridges are already balanced. Of course the whole balanced thing only works if it is end to end. Biggest positive I can determine from balanced is lack of noise entering the chain?

It enters but it cancels itself out.

I see lots of amps and DACs offering it now. Most domestic cases it's not really necessary for noise as cable runs not long enough but it also helps avoid ground loops.

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!”
