Can the RIAA equalization be switched off? For playing LPs, you'd always want it, but for playing 78s for example you do *not* want it.

Sorry, there is no such switch included. See my review posted around May 8, 2014.PAPA

No - the EQ is Fixed. 2 rca plugs in and 2 out and that's it. BTW are you related to Richard Dyer-Bennet the Folk Music Performer/Archivist? I can understand why you might have some 78's to play. ND

No. There is no switch for "On-Off" function. You can pull the plug to turn it off.

Guess what! I just ran across a major article from 1961 on Richard Dyer-Bennett http://vintagevacuumaudio.com/vintage-magazines/hifi/1961-7-hifi-stereo-review.pdf - I hope this finds its way to you. ND

Not that I'm aware of. As long as its got power and is plugged in between the record player and the stereo, its amplifying the output signal (since record player output in miliVolts). There is no way to shut it off except to unplug it, and it has no equalizer adjustments. The only thing I can think of is to get a standalone equalizer. Also, some record players have a pitch adjustment.

Theorectically yes, but this is connected in to line level output/input...means unamplified.....not worth the hassle. Look into software controlled audio.....good luck

You can bypass this by downloading an equalizer app and sending music through the equalizer via Airplay. That gives you the control to adjust base, trebles etc.

i actually use another rca line input and use the pre amp from my turntable with an in line booster (between turntable and 5000) and it works much better than the phono input on the 5000. i was getting a humming noise using phono input. your setup might be different though. either way my vinyl sounds awesome now!

Just record it at 45, then record it again at 33. 45+33=78.That's the grand unifying theory of vinyl.

There is a way to record at 45 rpm and speed it up with software. I don't know the details, but did read that it can be done, although you need a 78 stylus (which is not included) for playing 78's.

If you use a good mp3 player with good eq then just about anything you listen to will sound good....keyword here is a GOOD EQUALIZER

I have not seen one of those kind of LP changers type turntables in a very long time, and this one does not have that option. You might be able to find used ones (Garrard, Scott) on ebay.

Unfortunately I have never used this feature, but I can offer some advice: rip the music into a 24-bit codec with the highest sample rate you can. (i.e, not MP3)

It took me a while to figure this out, but the device has a standard mode and 3 different equalization modes. Since most modern devices don't have bass and treble controls, it can indeed improve the sound quality, as it does sound different in each mode. But always remember the basic rule of digital devices. garbage in-garbage out! So if your source recording, and/or your device sucks, than your sound will as well, no matter what you try.

Yes, but if the song on the 7" is long (over 5 mins), the turntable will stop automatically :(

Can you please explain what this means, you are asking a novice. if you are asking about an operating system compatibility-i have not had my operating system recognize it and when it does play from the auxiliary the quality is horrible. but the rest of the other playing options are awesome.

I am not constantly playing my old vinyls, which are not in pristine condition to begin with, so I really cannot answer. I haven't transferred anything to CD yet either.

not on the speakers themselves. but i went into my equalizer on itunes and fooled around with it until i found the setting i liked. for me, it was "electronic" that sounded best.

Frank, I would assume your turntable needs a RIAA equalization to play the turntable (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIAA_equalization). In older equipment you would get "Phono IN" (RIAA) which basically is an internal "equalizer" that compensates for the loss of bass and attenuates highs. The input of this speaker is line level or aux level (An Aux level output is typically: unbalanced; a nominal level of -10dBV (0.1 volt); designed to feed an input with an impedance of 10,000 ohms or greater. As an example, an Aux output might feed a CD, DVD). A feed from an iphone or other mobile devices will suit the aux in level, by adjusting their volume. So what you need is a "pre-amplifier" that handles "phono" RIAA equalization and the output becomes line level to connect it to the speaker. I hope this is useful.

James,Use Apple Lossless and get great sound off your Classic 120....I'm going to order one as soon as I get through typing to you. My iPhone just does not hold enough music when using Apple Lossless. Thanks,Magoo

Hi there, yes it plays all 45's, 33 1/3's, and 78's. I even found some 1902,-1909 Columbia and Victor records featuring Harry Lauder, etc., in a junk shiop near me. It plays them all just fine.
