$1100 to spend used -integrated or separates?
Thought I'd chime in here - I'm running a Musical Fidelity A300 Integrated with the Von Schweikert VR-1 monitors. I don't have any experience with the A3.2, but the A300 paired with the VR-1's is anything but dark. I've been very happy with the co...

I e-mailed Shure after finding the note at The Needledoctor, here's their response in full:"This cartridge will be discontinued, with no scheduled replacement."Someone else over at Vinyl Asylum got the same exact message when they e-mailed Shure a...

Rega Exact on a Rega P5 - opinions?
Sunsetsuperman: Ooops, forgot to respond to your suggestions! Sorry about that. I really like the Grado's sound but had a horrible time with hum on my old P3 when I had it set up with the Grado Reference - not something I want to revisit. Do you k... 
Rega Exact on a Rega P5 - opinions?
Thanks again for all the responses.Seandtaylor99: Actually I've found the VR-1's to be a good match to the Musical Fidelity. The A300's top end is anything but bright and is actually been noted to be a bit too subtle for some listeners. I found th... 
Rega Exact on a Rega P5 - opinions?
Thanks - yes, I've been able to find the 1042 for around $300 or so and the Exact around $350. I guess I'm just curious as to how it would compare to the Exact and if it would really be an "upgrade". I'd also be faced with purchasing spacers for t...

No - I understand. I just couldn't bring myself to dish out $150 for a bottle of solution. 
Roksan Radius - What can I replace the arm with?
Roksan needs to seriously reconsider its packaging I think. I had a Radius 5 that was damaged in transit as well.
