| New Rega Elicit Integrated - Opinions Manuals never say to leave on, but some people do, and it is common praactice in the professional audio industry. I first experienced the idea at a sound dealer who left their solid state Mcintosh power amp on all the time. Some feel it actually e... | |
| New Rega Elicit Integrated - Opinions well the Luxman is $4000 and class A, so no surprises there. I have found Class A amplification distinguishes itself with a lack of any hash or grain in the upper mids and treble, I just no longer want to deal with the heat and energy waste of cla... | |
| New Rega Elicit Integrated - Opinions I got mine when they came out. I reviewed it on audioreview and there is also a site called Tone audio that reviews it, they preferred it to the supernait. I was also in contact with a guy who compared the latest LFD, the Elicit and the Luxman cla... | |
| Review: Rega Elys Cartridge Some extra groove noise is not unusual with standard sytlus shapes. I've even used exotic shapes that played with more noise than I expected. I agree with the poster that said the denon 160 is too much like cd's, but I find that to be true with mo... | |
| Budget Cartridge: Grado Green vs Ortofon 2M Red If you think the Ortofon does horns well, wait until you hear a Grado, if you listen primarily to classic jazz a Grado is very, very good. They modified the line a little resulting in subtle inprovements (the number 1 appears after each model now)... | |
| REGA VTA Question Gandy stresses mechanical ridgidity over all else. They feel that Installing a shim or variable VTA adjuster nut compromises the sound and Gandy argues raising the arm up or down a few mm's actually only changes VTA angle by an inconsequential amo... | |
| REGA APOLLO It is a good machine. It does have a refined sound to it, the treble is clean. I think it was a bargain at the old price (I got one new fo 900), at the new price of $1200, I'd spend a bit more and spring for a cambridge 840C. You ask about them be... | |
| is the rega brio better than the rega mira 3 I used both. The brio runs out of steam before Mira 3 will, you get the sense that things are being pushed foward with a loss of composure when you crank it. At moderate levels the Brio is nicely musical. In a nutshell it is "good for the price" p... | |
| Audio Dropping Out on Rega Apollo and Saturn Kbarkamian, I was using store bought perfect condition cd's. I do have cdr's but play them on my Denon 2910. Initialization failures were in the range of 1 of every 15 or 20 discs with all 4 machines. I rarely used the fast foward/rewind function.... | |
| Audio Dropping Out on Rega Apollo and Saturn Thanks for your comments Kbarkamian. Maybe there is something to your theory. But it does not explain other stuff. There are a number of other issues these machines have besides the fast foward freezing up. Is failure to initialize a disc or failu... | |
| Stanalog/Sugden gone from US? I just reached him via email. He was having some trouble with the website and hopes to have it back up soon. Anyway here's the email address Stanalog@nycap.rr.com | |
| Audio Dropping Out on Rega Apollo and Saturn shoez23, there has been no response from Rega UK about the bugs these machines exhibit. But there is a response from the US Rega distributer above (Steve Daniels- the sound organization). He says there has been almost no problem with the machines ... | |
| Stanalog/Sugden gone from US? I found this link in a previous thread about Stanalog. I guess that is one advantage of dealing with somewhat larger companies, there is a larger network of dedicated people, I hear audio research has parts to service every product they ever made.... | |
| Stanalog/Sugden gone from US? Jeffb, I agree he (George) was good to deal with and is selling some excellent and musical stuff, and also was forthcoming of the Sugden integrateds shortcomings, but Stanalog is not that easy to get a hold of (as far as I can tell it is just him ... | |
| Cambridge 840C, YES it is as good as the reviews Best under 5000? well Reviewers tend to engage in hyperbole, this reminds me of Sam Tellings "best integrated ever" (regardless of price)statement for the LFD zero. Of course it is total hyperbole. I suspect partly it is becuase of the excitement ... |
