| Subsonics with Grado & Rega Arm Would a phono stage with subsonic filter help?Grado dance and woofer pump when used on an old Thornes. I dont think Grados like suspension turntables. No dance on rega table but hum increases nearer to motor. I think Grado on Rega is very musical ... | |
| Used Bryston 3B-ST or Schiit Vidar? Bryston is known for the long warranty, but schitt is longer than some at 5 yrs. The limited experience I had with bryston power was just demos and also owning a b60 integrated years ago. Long story short, I liked it’s preamp section better than i... | |
| Anyone have/ordered the Job 225? For all the high end qualifiers thrown its way, for me its a music lover amp. It is not ultimate high end amp. It runs hotter into 4 ohm, I currently use with 8 ohm. I also found it ran a little hotter with a passive versus active. Overall I prefe... | |
| Schiit Vidar.... Anyone heard one yet? I think they make pretty good stuff that gear heads can buy or try. As a company there's a certain anti-obsessive audiophile vibe, coupled with humor....reading the Faq sections to some of their products might give you a chuckle. Some of their des... | |
| Rega R3 I've always been a huge fan of British speakers- but it was not until a few years ago that I tried a Rega speaker. A lot of U.S. dealers only carry their cd players and TT's. In the RS line it is the 3 that is the most different from how the R lin... | |
| Review: Denon 301 MK II Cartridge Rupertin, coils can be more detailed and have a spacious sound stage. The Denon 304 was one of the most detailed cartridges I've heard. If price is no object most would say moving coil or moving iron designs are better than moving magnet designs. ... | |
| New Rega RP6 AFAIK, The TTPSU is the same as before other than a spiffier case. For right now the RP6 replaces the P5 only, the 7 will not be dropped from the line until the replacement for that model comes out. So the 6 is not a replacement for both the 5 and... | |
| Ortofon 2M Black To me they are both very "accurate". Neither could be called especially warm. Both have soundstaging about as good as it gets for MM carts. The AT's top end is a little more textured, the Ortofon very clean and dry. The AT has lower surface noise,... | |
| Review: Grado Prestige Black Cartridge Thanks for the review. Guess what? if you google grado hum, this review comes up as a result! My own experience with the mentioned cartridges and issues mirrors yours. I conclude about the same as you, Grados are very good sounding by any standard... | |
| Rega Exact 2 cartridge alignment qestion Just to add something to the responses, you can do plenty of searching the audio forums on the issue, and couple that up with your own personal experiments. My feeling is the Rega arms and cartridges sound best the Rega way (3 bolts and the result... | |
| What gives? CD’s, Solid State? I too used to have a CJ tube amp also (an MV55 w/ PV10). I've also used a Pass Labs class A single ended solid state and now use Rega RS3 w/ Elicit. Simple answer is there is just no way you are going to get that blooming midrange warmth you loved... | |
| New Rega Elicit Integrated - Opinions Well Ryder your post reminded me of a comparison we did in the early 90's when my friend brought over a Creek OBH to compare against the stage already in my Adcom pre-amp. He thought it would be no contest. Suprisingly The onboard Adcom stage was ... | |
| New Rega Elicit Integrated - Opinions One of the reasons I got my Elicit was ease of use- to have the onboard phono option. Mine is the Moving magnet- I use with a Rega Cartridge. I have not used the onboard MC option. Outboard phono stages can be a step up or down over an onboard one... | |
| New Rega Elicit Integrated - Opinions I use Supra Ply 3.4S which has been around for ages and is what I' consider to be a very capable and affordable wire, Rega also has their own called Quatro. The Rega speakers I use are RS3 and single terminal, so only one run of wire per speaker i... | |
| Audio Dropping Out on Rega Apollo and Saturn Well I want to say my Rega Jupiter 2000 has worked perfect for many years and I prefer the sound of it to any cd machine I have ever owned. It was only the Apollo and Saturn I had trouble with, all other Rega gear I have used is fine (turntables, ... |
