Rega P25, would it sound better than my CDP?
Better? Not really. With the Rega music will sound sluggish and percussion instruments will not sound crisp and fast. Give it a test: buy a Fania All Stars virgin vinyl limited edition salsa LP (from eBay) and then get the same in CD format. Compa...

Paging Mr. Albert Porter
Are speakers any good if you have to do THAT much work to them, or are you never happy?....Nah--it's called *audiophillia*.The mod Dan Wright did to my little ribbon powered Swans was more expensive than the speakers. Audiophillia again...***

Review: Technics SL-1200Mk2 Turntable
WRONG--both you guys. Alex has said that the modded 1200 is on par to $5K decks. Recently someone in the Asylum posted that his modded 1200 sounded better than a $6K deck. The Creature is a serious unit for real world audiophiles.The stock Technic...
