| Cartridge Recommendation The 10x5 is a fantastic match to the Rega arm and, by far, would be my pick on that table. I'm running a 20xL and think it's the finest cartridge I've run under $1k - hell, it may be the finest all around cart I've ever run! You can't go wrong wit... | |
| sota moonbeam owners..... I had a moonbeam for a short while. I liked it quite a bit with a Goldring 1042 mounted - it was a bitch of a table to isolate though. The arm is a very weak point for this table. It had a really cheap feel to me and the lack of VTA adjustment was... | |
| Phono Pre-amp for Analog Newbie A lot of great recommendations above...After a year and a half of the "merry-go-round" I've finally settled on the following and feel no need to upgrade anything at this point...Cartridge: Dynavector 20xLPhono-Stage: Dynavector P-75 (operating in ... | |
| Michell Technoarm vs Origin Live Silver vs ??? I recently imported a TecnoArm from Stone Audio in the UK (saved me around $300 over the best price I could find domestic...) and am astounded at the fit, finish, and performance of this arm. It blows away the Rega RB 250, 300, 600, and 700's that... | |
| Getting and keeping records clean................ here's my personal progression: Disc Doctor fluids and the Disc Doctor brushes (best brushes around...) / Nitty Gritty Record Master, Disc Doctor Fluids and Disc Doctor Brushes / VPI 16.5, Disc Doctor Fluids and Disc Doctor Brushes / VPI 16.5 and ... | |
| Stock Rega arm-wiring -- how Cheesey??? According to Origin Live - replacing the stock wires makes about a 12% increase in performance. http://www.tonearm.co.uk/comparison_chart_tonearms.pdfNow... how they determined that it was 12%, I have no idea... | |
| Prices of CD vs. record players I also have to throw into the mix the Michell TecnoDec ($1,695 new - around $900 used). I recently set one up and am astounded at how good it sounds. It blows away the prior Rega (P25 & P5) tables I've run. I've got it paired up with a Dynavec... | |
| Review: Portal Panache Integrated Amplifier This is getting ridiculous…. MODERATOR - HELP!! I hate that this thread has grown to something that has nothing to do with the piece of equipment I set out to review. I would hope that after 63 posts, of which only a handful actually have to do wi... | |
| Review: Portal Panache Integrated Amplifier Okay - I swear this is my last post (he says for the 20th time...)I've read your posts over and over Steve and here's my final conclusion and, granted, I seem to have had the order of some things wrong...Like you said (I'll even quote...) "Virtual... | |
| Review: Portal Panache Integrated Amplifier Steve - I understand what you're saying, I just don't see how it applies to what I had to say about the Panache. I only as to how it applies to separates -vs- integrateds. Which is fine, I guess - but I'm not sure this was the place to bring it up... | |
| Review: Portal Panache Integrated Amplifier Okay – this is getting a bit tedious….I won’t even pretend to have the experience you’ve got with regard to electronics nor do I wish to get into a back and forth exchange regarding semantics.Here’s the thing I don’t understand – if the volume pot... |
