Well, no-one specified that this thread had to be about digital sources, so I'm just going to go ahead and start one about the new Drop + Audio Technica collab - the $349 Carbon VTA Turntable.

I probably listen to more vinyl than digital over headphones, and I'm sure I'm not the only one here...right?

Anyhow, my full review of the product can be found here at Headfonia.

The first person who posted a review on Drop (and apparently also received it in advance of market release) reported:

"The Drop turntable comes with a built-in preamp that has a line out bypass to use an external phono preamp. I have found that this is not a clear output and it will put a veil on the highs without some modifications."

Did you test this TT system with the built-in pre-amp switched off? If so did you find this same defect?
