Microphone preamp instead of phono preamp

That's not the claimed intention - from https://www.parksaudiollc.com/news.html:

Having said that, I have yet to find that documentation, and for me that's a showstopper.

I have got the Puffin, my best purchase ever

Following up on the Bluetooth API, an initial version is now up:
https://www.parksaudiollc.com/bluetoothapi.html
From the terms date I guess it went live on 10th August. It has a few gaps to be filled, but most app functions are covered and there's an invitation to email for assistance if needed. I don't really need one, but it's now awfully tempting...

I get seasick, I do not want to be a Bluetooth programmer . Why not just use the app as is?
I got the Puffin by the way, very happy with it.

Parks addressed one reason for releasing the API when they announced the Waxwing:

"Will this be another IoT device that stops working one day when Parks Audio goes out of business or decides to stop support?"

Now someone can write a 3rd party app so the Waxwing keeps working if the app stops working for any reason.

There are other reasons too. Odd as it may seem, some people don't have a smartphone. Some use alternative operating systems with no access to Google Play. Others may want to control it from a computer or something else. If you're happy with the app that's fine. I'm not asking you to be a Bluetooth programmer, but if I get a Waxwing I'll be doing some programming.

But it can also be a bidirectional bt remote control for the Waxwing

What is it? I searched for TEAC WRC1 but didn't find anything like this.

I'd probably stick it on github or similar.

Another cheap and easy and very effective way to go is to use a "balanced transmitter" with a 47K input impedance to load the cart and then run balanced to the interface. I use this one https://sound-au.com/project176.htm with the input resistors changed to 47K. I keep the cable from TT to balanced transmitter short and can then run balanced to the MIC interface as far as needed with no worries about hum. For MM I found this worked perfectly, for MC I found I had to turn up the volume on the interface pretty high so for MC I use a SUT in front of the balanced transmitter. This loads cart and SUT perfectly.

Most likely it hasn't been a priority. Send an email to Shannon about it, just to signal there is interest. Might speed things up.

Three weeks later, bluetooth documentation is up

Seems unchanged from post #22 above.
