Whats on your turntable tonight?

I hope that @tomic601 is scoring well with his fishing.  After recovering from such a terrible cycling accident he certainly deserves it.  Go get 'em Jim!

I'll begin fishing in late July through end of September.  Hopefully the bluefin tuna will be very good this year.

And yeah, me too, I don't understand going from phono stage directly to powered subwoofer.  Does that mean you then connect an output from the subwoofer to your main amp?  I have never heard of such connectivity.  If so, then how do you control the volume level?

My subs allow for all the connectivity that are if concern

The REL subs are renowned for their speaker level connectivity. They even have upgrade cables just for this application.

I have a REL sub, model S-812, and use the high-level connectivity, coming from my amp.  I got the Audioquest Rocket 88 REL specific cable in place of the supplied REL high-level connection (much nicer cable).  I still don't understand that the phono stage would connect directly to the sub.  Yes, the REL also has low-level inputs (RCA connections) but why would you connect the phono stage there?  What am I missing?
