Ah, rereading the first post I see the sneaky change from the
thread-subject ;-)
Now, the fun thing to do is compare that square-wave on SB output to
what you see on the amp's output, on the speaker-termi

I love these threads because I end up reading webpage that bubble up
from Google with all sorts of information that I didn't know yet.
I think it was Pat who mentioned variable pitch on vinyl so that the
groove gets a bit more space for loud passages etc. What I found is

absolutely no effect on the "sound" of any of our players. None.

Hi Everyone.
I run my SB3 wired - I prefer the sound !
All of my music is flac.
SB3 volume is disabled (ie fixed to 100%) as the sound degrades
considerably when the SB3 volume control is used - the music just
becomes flat & lifeless. I prefer to control volume further down the
line.
