Quite interesting though, didn't know that.

Ok, gotcha. Sorry for being slow, I'm kinda new to all this.

Right. Still a little confused: obviously a phono preamp is necessary, but wouldn't using a preamp (like the magni 2 uber) into the active speakers after the phono preamp give me too much amplification? Some sites say I just need a phono preamp in between the table and the active speakers.

Sorry, power is the wrong word. You're right. Thanks for your help!

I think the SYS has two inputs, not two outputs. Oh, so the Magni 2 Uber could power headphones and speakers also?

Sweet, thanks. So the chain could go turntable>phono stage>Schiit SYS>powered monitors? If I wanted to incorporate a headphone option into this, how would I do that? Where would I put a headphone amp?

Volume. Sorry, didn't make that clear.

Hello. Just thinking about putting a set up together. I'm a musician and I already have some nice powered monitors (a pair of Adam A7Xs), so I was thinking of using them as part of it. I was then thinking of getting a Rega RP1 also (although maybe the Pro-Ject Elemental with the preamp built-in). I started looking at phono preamps to put between them, and saw that most aren't adjustable. Is a phono preamp the thing I should be looking at, or is there some other bit of gear which is adjustable?

Just picked up a copy of this (and the new Speedy Ortiz) from Norman Records in Leeds, UK. They have 10 copies left, and I think they're selling their stock off online at 00:01 on Saturday. Or if anyone's in the area, you can just pop in and get one. EDIT: For those of you DM'ing me asking if I'd be able to pick you up a copy, Norman have a 1-per-person rule on RSD stuff, and because I had a bit of a chat with the chap at the counter, I'm sure they'd recognise me and call me out on it. Apologies!

If anyone's interested, email from MusicDirect: "Thank you for your email. Our buyer contacted Universal who confirmed that they have more copies of SMASHING PUMPKINS - MELLON COLLIE AND THE INFINITE SADNESS (LIMITED EDITION 180G Vinyl 4LP BOX SET) on order. It is not out of print. However, they are not able to provide an eta for items awaiting repress. If you place a backorder, it will ship to you as soon as it arrives. Please let me know if you have any further questions. Best Regards, Emily"

OH THE UNCERTAINTY

Just got a reply from my local record store saying that the MCIS LP is out of print. Let's hope they're wrong, and MusicDirect are right. I really want a copy. Acoustic Sounds are 'backordered' on this too, so I suppose that's a good sign.

That's great! Thank you.

Anyone know if the Mellon Collie vinyl reissue has gone out of print? It's gone out of stock almost everywhere (I'm in the UK). I'd ideally want an EU pressing as I don't think they suffered from the distortion issues. Cheers!
