I understand Wadia is coming out with their new i170 which seems to be a gift from above for those amateurs amongst us that still like the practicality of going through iTunes (preferably with lossless files of course).

This is funny stuff, hey only $1,000 worth of open mind, open wallet!!!! Do these need footers and MPINGO blocks to help do it's magic, or are these self powered magic coat hangers!!!! Magic coat Hangers!!! Another audio breakthrough!!!!

hey, i have a dual 1264 and it was doing fine, then the sound stopped coming from the speakers and the tone arm just went up and down. i fixed the tone arm but still no sound comes from my speakers. some sound does come out when i plug the TT into the "tape" inputs in the back of my reciever, but no sound comes out of the phono jacks? any insight would be much appreciated.
