Fantastic, thats what I did so they should be positioned relatively well. I imagine i'll have to play with the toe in a bit once they're hooked up!
They're fresh out the box, so zero hours at the moment!

Mine are a little further out just because I can’t get them any nearer to the wall on one side but others have them around where yours are and love them.
Yeah you will. Mine have about 2 inches of toe in which I like but a lot will depend on your space.
They still sound pretty good out of the box but I found a little mannered. They begin to cut lose 20-50 hours and sound great from about 100 hours onward.

Yall a bunch of Lintons in here
Output of your phono stage to the input of your headphone amp. Output of the headphone amp to any non phono input on the NAD.
Or leave the headphone amp out of the picture and use the NAD to drive your headphones.

Brilliant, thank you again! You’re the best. Would the difference between a Schitt Magni and the NADs headphone jack be negligible?

I think it’s the comprimise between it as a headphone amp or it and two volume pots being in the chain for your lovely new speakers. Personally I’d leave it out. If the amp had a tape out you’d be laughing because you could do both.

I would try it both ways to decide whether I prefer the Magni. If I couldn't discern a difference, then I would go simpler and use the NAD jack.

I think the better question is whether going through your headphone amp to the NAD will sound as good through your Lintons as just going straight to the NAD from your phono stage.

For now I’m leaving the Magni out. Another question though, did I get the wrong type of banana plug, with that weird shoot out the banana plug doesn’t fit into the port :/
Edit: never mind, just had to really push it in

In some cases the level of resistance of that outcropping can be controlled by tightening/loosening the sleeves below it, so you get resistance low to insert, then "tighten" the sleeve to increase resistance and prevent it from popping out of its own accord. Not sure that's what you've got, but you can play with it and see.

Okay, they’re plugged in, there’s some loud buzzing coming through the speakers right now. Any ideas on how to eliminate it? I’ve got the ground wire from my turntable going into the preamp, and no ground cable connected to the amp cause I have no idea what to attach it to?
Try moving the ground wire from the phono stage to the ground connection on the NAD.

Interesting, that changed it from a buzz to a hum lol. Going to play around with my power strip

I've had instances where disconnecting the ground wire from the amp eliminated the hum. Worth a try (at low volume!) You might also check to be sure the cartridge/stylus is securely mounted.
You’ve plugged the output of the phono stage into the phono input. This is a no no.
Pick another input, then select the quieter place to put the ground wire.
