I suppose I'll pop in with another question--do any of you rip your vinyl? I'm hearing odd artifacts in the rips, which I can probably attribute to the soundcard on my Mac. At least I'm guessing. What else could it be?
 
I don't really know how to describe it, but it's like the sound at 39 seconds in this video. Exactly like the iphone tone called "digital."
 
Any help would be appreciated!

That's such a cool little player!

Good spot! I'm ditching my ipod and getting one of these babies! I wonder if they make an arm band so I can use it while running...

Better get an long extension cord.

So Pretty!

Thanks!  The one thing I don't like about most TTs out today is that they don't come with a dust cover.  Dust can be a real PITA when it piles up on the platter and plinth.  Any small gust of wind kicks it all up, and it ends up on the record.  I've actually thought about selling this one and trying out a Rega or Pro-Ject, or even a Music Hall.  I used to own the MMF-5.1 before I got this Clearaudio, and I miss the dust cover greatly.  There are companies that sell custom made dust covers, but the prices last time I looked were around $300, which is absolutely asinine for a clear fiberglass dustcover.  I'll get an entirely new turntable before I spend that much on a dust cover.

Right around $230 for a Dust Cover. I wouldn't go buying a new TT just for a friggin dust cover. It the grand scheme of things it's not that much and chances are your new table wouldn't be up to snuff...but you'd have a dustcover...
 
Check Audiogon. That's where I'll be getting mine when my Notts comes in.
