Pro-ject Debut Carbon vs Debut III ??
I have used a Debut II for 5 years on my 3000 LP collection with no issues. The arm does not suck. It is quite functional and work well with your record assuming you have a well matched cartridge (I use a At95ce from LP Gear). I also use the heavi... 
Pro-ject Debut Carbon vs Debut III ??
No issue with the arm. I have been running a Debut 3 for 5 years. Probably have 5,000 hours omit with no issues. I also have higher end tables to compare and no LPs have been damaged. Project makes a very fine budget record deck. But yes the Carbo... 
Clearaudio Concept MM cartridge
It is not an At95e, though uses the basic architecture. I own both. One mounted on a project table and another on a Concept. The Concept is more open, detailed and transparent. Specs are completely different. 
Kimber Kable:Spker Cable: Which offers best sound?
I used Kimber and Nordost. Kimber on a basic system and Nordost on the main system. Nordost Leif series rocks, especially the Purple Flare and Red Dawn which are both 6 element vs 4 element from the White Lightning or LS Blue Heaven. The two compa... 
LS3/5a's - what amps are you using?
I use a Rega Elex. No issue at all. 11 ohms. Very easy to drive. Inefficient but 1 clean watt is all you need in my room. 
Looking for experiences with Rega Fono pre-amps
I use the Fono and a cheap CA 540. The Rega is warmer and more textured sounding 
Rega P5 owners
Nolitan: not sure if my system qualifies as reavealing but I have been using B&W speakers in my main system: initally 805s and now 704s. Not quite in the snack bracket you mention but these are pretty revealing for the money. Rega sounds great... 
Rega P5 owners
It makes the music flow better - more relaxing to listen to and better articulation of certain details. Get the power supply before any other upgrades. I use mine with an Elsye2. 
opinions about Myiajima Shilabe
Shilabe is very favourably reviewed in Stereophile this month by Mikey Fremer. Also a new Shelter and one by Shun Mook. 
What is the "best" cartridge a Technics 1210...
Wow great post Tonym211.I just got my KAB 1210 last week and I love it. No mods but I use it with a Tonar mat on top of the rubber one which smooths the highs and rounds out the bottom end.I use it with a Sumiko Pearl which sounds awesome. I have ... 
Dual Turntables
I own 505-2 (belt drive, 1984), 506 (belt drive, 1980), and 1228 (idler drive 1974). Also previously a 515 (belt drive 1986) and 721 (direct drive, 1977).Avoid the ones with the plastic bases.505-2 was the giant killer budget table back in the 198... 
Rega TT PSU..... one or two buttons ?
TT PSU reduces motor vibration. Any upgrade like that will give the music a more relaxed, precise presentation. I use a P5 with TT-PSU and the difference is there but not huge. A quality cartridge will make a bigger difference IMO. In Canada the T...
