No...my system has morphed over the past 2 weeks...I've gone from a Parasound 3 channel amp to a Sherborne 7 channel to prep for my move to Home Theater & rear channels...also a changeout of an older Parasound HT pre-pro to an Emotiva DMC-1 w/ an on-board phono stage...the Technics TT (1200 GLD) I picked up w/ the Ortofon 50 something cartridge broke so Kevin @ KAB set me up w/ another Ortofon...the model # I can't remember right now (I'm @ work) but its a MM...I'm not sure if the new/ different cartridge set up is proper & that's the first thing I have to research & work on but my system has NEVER sounded so bad (on CD or vinyl)

...lots of hash & the vinyl is recessed,thick,muddy & several heavy veils...no where what I remember from my last vinyl playback rig (20+ years ago w/ a Bang & Olufson TT & Carver receiver)-it's been mentioned & advised that I check the processor function set up but I have to wait until next week to get the On Screen Display set up-damn shift work!!!-Thank You for asking!-send up your prayers to the audio gods.I'll keep The Vinyl Circle posted!
