| McIntosh - is it that great? I would not own anything else. Pride of ownership, quality, sound, resale value. | |
| Rega best buy p-5 or p-7? please HELP Good Afternoon Jopi88,I purchased a Rega P5 with Exact cartridge last August. I have heard this unit side by side with the P7 and Exact. The P7 has a very "slight" edge in sound quality, particularly detail, but not by much.I had the Music hall mm... | |
| Anyone have or listen to a Rega P5 yet? I have the P-5 with Rega Super Elys. This is the best sounding turntable I have owned and I have owned MANY.For simplicity, ease of use, great sound, and value, they are very hard to beat. I am not going to add any type of upgrade. The RB-700 arm ... | |
| RB700 w/ Super Elys... cartridge alignment needed? I have a rega P-5 with the Super Elys. My experience is the 3 hole system and Rega cartridges are "MADE For each other". The mounting is simple, and my alignment protractor shows near ideal alignment. The system gets you so close that the miniscul... | |
| Were to go after a Rega Planet 2000? I have had so many CD & SACD players I can't remember them all. Many of which have been mentioned here. I bought the Quad 99 CD-P last summer to go with my all Quad system. This is far and away the best CD player I have owned, and a bargain to... | |
| To much wattage for B & W 805s ?? You are much better off with "too much" clean power than being underpowered, or having an amplifier go into clipping due to a poorly made power supply or output side. Once the signal goes into hard clipping (running out of steam) that's when you a... | |

| Poor student with a SL-1700MK2, which needle? Dear Amerritt,I have used an sl-1200 (very similar) with the Audio Technica 440ml cartridge. This is a top notch cartridge for the money. Needle Doctor & Music Direct sell them for $99.00. I was amazed at how good the sound was especially for ... | |
| Which table to choose - Rega P3 or Music Hall MM7 I had the mmf-7. It was a fine table and sounded good. I sold that and bought a Rega P-5 with 'Exact' cartridge. The combo of the 700 arm and the Exact is superb. I am hearing instruments on records I did not know were there with my other tables.I... | |
| Weather-induced amp performance variation Hopefully the amp manufacturers produce their products to be reasonably stable at a "range" of temperatures. The few degree swings in a normal day should not amount to much once the electronics heat up, and then settle in.Going from a very cold ro... | |
| Rega Exact on a Rega P5 - opinions? Dear Slate1,I have the "exact" same set up you are inquiring about. I currently own the Rega P-5, with the Rega Exact cartridge played through an 'all' Quad system with 909 amp. The records sound superb!I previously owned the pro-ject perspective ... | |
| Favorite SS Amp? I am truly amazed by the Quad 909. I bought the 909 2 months ago, and I am literally astounded at how good it is and the reasonable price.It is very well regarded amongst the audio writers/reviewers too. | |
| The best var. out CD player for under 1500 used? The Quad 99 CD-P has variable out and very useful digital inputs as well. Several Publications have given it glowing reviews. I love mine!I had "both" McIntosh and Sony SACD units. The Quad 99 sounds much more musical and detailed. The remote and ... | |

| Preamp to use with Quad 909 Amp Hi Jim,I bought the Quad 11L's. These are superb little speakers, stand mounted monitors. Their reviews were so impressive by so many I bought them. They are a great match for the all Quad system.However, I am keeping a pair of Quad 22L's in the b... |
