I see... So I presume it's one of the vintage 1980's models when the

The fact is that beyond very large and obvius differences the only game

2 "hot". Other than pre-1990 gear, I believe the vast majority of gear
is like this and adjustable devices like my TEAC UD-501 DAC also
defaults to pin 2 +.
