I use it sparingly for particular recordings when I decide they need subtle adjustment for me to enjoy. I return the settings to neutral when that recording is over.

| Vinyl***What If*** You don't mention the investment you are willing to make for this experiment other than "inexpensive" which is subjective. Therefore, assuming a budget based on your other equipment and stated goals, I recommend a Clearaudio Concept new or used. I... | |

| High-end TT setup with phono stage built in *If* I were looking for a TT with built-in phono preamp the Rose Gold Shinola Runwell Turntable would be a consideration. That would be for purely aesthetic reasons and a hail mary for the VPI engineering and support. | |
| No sound from speakers Do you have the original jumper plates or other jumper cables with the speaker terminals? Perhaps your friend was bi-wiring the speakers and removed the jumper plates from the terminals? | |
