Further Information:
For sale is my trusty Parks Puffin (with analog and factory digital output (Toslink). The most compelling description I have seen of the Puffin is "the Swiss Army knife of Phono Stages".
For those who know the Puffin it is a highly flexible DSP based phone stage that will work with any almost any cartridge from LOMC to MM, provides analog or digital output, and provides a host valuable features from adjustable Gain, Treble / Bass Boost, Record Grading to multiple system test modes. It even acts a s straight A2D converter if needed.
I have used it with my Planar 8 with Hana ML cart and it stacks up well against my PS Audio Nuwave Phono stage.
For those less in the know a couple of links:
-
https://www.parksaudiollc.com/puffin.html The home page for the device with a little more on it, and its creator Shannon Parks
-
https://hometheaterhifi.com/reviews/vinyl/turntable-accessories/parks-audio-puffin-phono-dsp-preamplifier/ A balanced overview / review of the Puffin. The short summary is: The PARKS AUDIO PUFFIN offers a set of features impossible to find in this price range. It is essentially an upgradeable computer you can use to play and grade your records and fine-tune your cartridges. It did a good job of extracting detail and energy out of vinyl records and added a fun new dimension to vinyl playback I never knew I needed. Highly recommended.
In the pics below is a snapshot of its Menu items - further details on these are on Shannon's link above.
I bought this directly from Shannon a couple of years back. Happy to post at buyers expense, or you can pick up if in Melbourne.
