Right on Mofi, it looks like the only way in is the Processor Input which is an unbalanced line in. 
Auralex ISO-Tone Turntable Isolation Platform
If you are a DJ and the woofers are pumping, those sound waves are going to vibrate the TT platform. That was my meaning of acoustic vibration and feedback; an external cause of vibration.Obviously I failed to properly explain it.3 Hail Marys and ... 
Focal Aria 906 vs Totem Mite
As far as power, I just realised the difference between 60wpc and 80wpc is negligible. 
Auralex ISO-Tone Turntable Isolation Platform
Mapman's right; these pads are for acoustic vibration. IOW, isolating the TT from standing waves or feedback, or to neutralise the sound of the surface that the TT sits upon; ie, glass, wood.I'm sure other members will have suggestions, but using ... 
Focal Aria 906 vs Totem Mite
Of all the amp/DACs you've been looking at, the Cambridge CX A 80 seems a good choice. I think you should go with the higher power (CX80) since the sensitivity of these speakers only ranges from 87-89dB.The Mites are an impressive speaker; listeni...

Audiophile Newbie pt. 4 - Phono
Jwilsco, I'll try and explain...let's see how many people make fun of my explanation.The term phono, short for phonograph is your turntable input.A preamp inputs and outputs "line level" signals such as a CD player, DVD, tape deck. These component... 
Speaker Power Requirements
That's bad news, Zd. MF is nice stuff. 
Speaker Power Requirements
The PSB Synchrony One requires a high current amp to bring out the dynamics which the PS Audio Trio C-100 is not capable of. I have auditioned the Synch One in my home with a 300 wpc/8 ohm, 600 wpc/4 ohm with good results.You need an amp that doub...

Thanks so much, Schubert. Underwood Wally has models in black that he's calling "clearance" at an incredibly low price. 
Need New CD Player or new DAC
No, Dylanfan, I don't own the Jolida Glass DAC. I've owned Jolida gear in the past and liked their tube sound. So I'm only going by positive user reviews and the affordable price.Austinbob brings up a good point; some DACs will not play SACD resol...
