    Be careful if you need to open the Sutherland The cover fits pretty tight so it can take a bit of work to get it back on correctly. Just take your time.

    Thanks for the advice. I plan on doing it tomorrow.
    Right now I'm just enjoying the SPL

    You are off to hours of fun and a great start!

    I'll check back in a week or two once you have that 1200G installed and had ample time to play around with your new phono preamp toys!

    You set the record for the fastest decision on three pieces of gear from my recent memory - a man of action!

    No point in hanging around second guessing everything

    Was that a slam?? :) Good one if so......

    But I think you meant as far as "the man of action" part :angel: but just checking.

    Clicked on them to open in new window, enlarged, then a cop/paste job.
    Perhaps you are saving them to hosting site as thumbnails instead of monitor sized?

    I'm using image shack and it just ask me to upload a pic.
    It gives me 5 different options to link it and I select the one named forums.
    I should add I'm doing all this from my phone

    I would look at another option as "forums" isn't really adequate.

    He mentioned it in an interview I saw somewhere on youtube. Contact him and they will send you a proper fitting replacement.

    After you've uploaded the pic, view the full-size one on imageshack, right-click on the image select Copy, right-click in this reply box and select Paste. Tada! :)

    I think the problem I'm having is doing this from my phone.

    I don't know if I got lucky but it came off easy.
    It's a beast of an amp.
    Not a fan of the power supply but it sounds insanely good.

    How is it vs the SPL? Or is it too early to really say yet?

    To early to say. My new TT arrives tomorrow so some critical listening over the weekend in store.
    Early impression is that are both very very good.
    The SPL is very easy to set with all the knobs and switches on the front. It also has a subsonic feature and pf settings that is missing from the Sutherland.
    Both have exceptional build quality. You don't want to put the lid back on the Sutherland.
    The power supply to Sutherland is not that great and it's $500 to upgrade which brings it $2800 total. The SPL. Is $1800.

    Press on the image for a few seconds and open in a new tab then copy the link and paste it in the field that appears after pressing the image icon in the reply box.
