Rega's T/T power supply: Is it worth the money?
Frank, Thank you for cleaqring that up with me. I did speak with Steve and he did verufy what you stated. Sorry if I mislead anyone about this issue. 
Rega's T/T power supply: Is it worth the money?
I was also told by my dealer that the TTPSU for the P5 & P3/24 are all the same for each dedicated model whereas each P7 TTPSU is matched to the motor; meaning all P7 TTPSU are not alike. 
Cartridge upgrade for Rega P1
Rega P1 is a nice entry-level TT. A rega Elys II would be a nice cartridge for it, although many onthis board donot care for the Rega branded cartridges. A cheaper alternative, since don't know your outlay, would be a Shure M97 or another Ortofon ... 
Rega's T/T power supply: Is it worth the money?
I went from a P5 with TTPSU to a P7. On the P5 I was using a Rega Exact cartridge. I trade up to the P7 one year later. The main difference between the two tables is the subplatter, bearings and ceramic platter (cool looking) on the P7. I did hear... 
Rega's T/T power supply: Is it worth the money?
No, each TT model has their own PSU. 
Rega RB 1000: needs rewiring?disable spring?
Ihave a Rega P7 with a RB700 arm. I listened to another rega P7 with arm rewired with Origin Live wire - did not like the sonics, IMHO. They was bloated bass, screeching highs, flat mids. Leave the arm as is. I was told by my dealer that use the A... 
iPod docking station - Belkin vs Wadia vs Arcam
Correct if I am wrong. Using the Wadia transport with a DAC, can the DAC be hooked up to a preamp that does not have a digital input? Both of my 2 channel preamps inputs are all RCAs. I am currently using my iPod dock with 1/4" plug out to 2 RCA m... 
Lindsey Buckingham
I, too, have enjoyed this LP. Lets hope more artists follow his lead and include uncompressed CDs with LP releases. LB's previous CD was less than stellar to me. I was very pleasantly surprised with this LP. Great sonics and very quiet. Will use a... 
Music for Riding a Storm Out?
Well, I, too live west of Houston in Katy. I did receive some damage (all electronics are OK) but nothing that I can't deal with. I did not board up - I could feel the storm wanting to suck out my windows. I lost power 9:30 Friday night and was no...

CBS News does a segment on LPs
VinylDavid at Audiokarma was the lead person being interviewed on that story. 
LCD TV - Are they reliable ?
I, too, have to defend the DLP technology. I also have a 37" LCD (Samsung. My DLP is a Mits. (57"). After getting Mits to rebate/refund $900 for my 5 yr pld RP that could not be fixed because part is not longer available, the net to me for the 57"... 
sub for Dynaudio Audience 42
I recently purchased a pair of Audience 52SE and my local dealer had a few Dynaudio Sub20 left in stock. I bought one new for $600 - listed for $1200. He has a cherry left and a few blacks if you want his contact number let me know. I was going to... 
Autos with stock awsome sound systems; Recomend?
My '06 Acura RL Premium Sound System is pretty decent even if it has the Bose badge. I do prefer it over the TL ELS (Elliot Schiener) system. 
Vienna Mozart Grand or Beethoven Baby Grand
The amp I believe was the reference 200.2 S2; not sure about the preamp
