Not devastating perhaps - but I do miss my phono stage.
Meanwhile I try to make the best out of it.
My digital vinyl drops are gold, now. The best are with the Tascam and the most recent analog source equipment.
Listening through my DSD recordings since I bought a Korg Mr-1 in 2009 I can listen back on earlier system setups and recording options, compared to the Tascam recordings over the last one and a half years. The Tascam recordings genrally win out. This is probably due to three factors, (besides better equipment) - better connections, double DSD speed, and a better recorder, compared to the mr-1.
