    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    This has to be seen to be believed - a burn-in device for your phono-stage!

    Note it is covered with the epithet "Great Sound Escorts" - does that mean you get a blow-job whilst waiting for your stage to burn in??

    These guys should be ashamed of themselves for selling this junk.

    One day, somebody will market a burn-in device for burn-in devices!

    Not a fan then Geoff? It went for quite a modest price. Its usually valued at £150 and gets described as a "high quality" item.

    It's crap! I bought one new back then. Slack counterweight thread, loose headshell mounting, flimsy, resonant arm tube. Too little mass for an average MC, too much mass for a contemporary high compliance MM. It's just not worth bothering with. A (closely related) Linn LVX would see it off.

    Still scarred from my experience with it Geoff! Might share it with others if I can bring myself to do so. . .
