Hi all,
This is probably an esoteric question, but does anyone know how to get more information about vintage CDPs that lack a manual? I ask, because my family has an old JVC XL-V311 (1989, I believe) sitting around, and I'm trying to determine what to do with it.
Lacking a really good source for comparison, I'm in no good position to evaluate it, but I'm curious to see its numbers, if possible. If the outside labelling is to be believed, it has dual 18 bit noise-shapening DACs and is a 4 times oversampling unit. That's about all I know. I suppose I could open it up, though, but I'd prefer not to.
Amazingly enough, the unit does work perfectly, and it has an surprisingly powerful line out. On my Gilmore Lite with an AKG K271S, I had to turn the dial a few milimeters from the minimum for it to be at a good listening volume (I nearly blasted my ears off when I hooked it up and didn't turn the volume down first).
Thanks for your time!
