| Anyone using the Transistor Research LabsM 225's Tvad instead of being cynical of every TRL thread my recommendation is to first hand try the M-225's in your own system and them post a review here on Audiogon.Bobheinatz (Reviews | Threads | Answers)First, my post was an observation as I see it. ... | |
| Anyone using the Transistor Research LabsM 225's TRL owners are going to write that the amps are the best they've ever heard. You can find posts in at least half dozen threads. I've never read anything to the contrary.What other comments are you seeking, 'cause what you read here will be more of... | |
| Rega P5 or move up to the P9 ? I have read posts from a couple P9 owners over the years, and they all consider the P9 a lifetime keeper (even if they were to buy another table, they would keep their P9). That is telling, IMO. | |
| The best amp for $2k tube, solid state or hybrid You should do a Google search for the Belles 350A Reference reviews. Reading one would answer your questions regarding sound quality. | |
| How Many Turntables Have You Owned I owned a Philips 312. Very cool table. It was notoriously sensitive to vibration, however...not ideal for a hard rock freak like me (but I loved the table anyway).I sold it about 15 years ago for $25. | |
| SACD availability? I've been buying JVC 24bit X2 CDs, one or two SACD, and a few XRCD. I agree these JVC CDs sound exceptional.Between Amazon.com sellers of used CDs and Google, I'm able to find an incredible number of titles to purchase.I don't know of any B&M ... | |
| how to clean nasty, dirty finger prints on LPs I got a bit of burning vinyl smell. My steamer's noozle was about 4 inches away from LPs.anyone notice that?Xctian I owned a Perfection steamer and noticed a smell. It was not burning vinyl. It was a plastic chemical smell that emanated from the ... | |
| Which TT the Pro-Ject RM-5 SE or Rega P3-24? 75% of the vinyl I have purchased has been damaged (remember I have zero tolerance for clicks and pops). Cleaning did not ameliorate the damage. I use AIVS.Last year I was lucky to buy a mint condition LP; one of the few truly mint LPs I have foun... | |
| New Bel Canto Gear at RMAF I was under the impression that Simon Thacher was the man responsible for voicing the latest iteration of the Spectron amp that's receiving all the rave-ups. He has left the company?If this is true, it doesn't speak to consistency at the company.D... | |
| how to clean nasty, dirty finger prints on LPs Sometimes the oils from fingerprints etch the vinyl, and nothing can be done to eliminate them. | |
| Which TT the Pro-Ject RM-5 SE or Rega P3-24? Narrod, you may be right. I've done a pretty good job of debating myself into a corner here, so I'm gonna get out while I can.Happy shopping to the OP! | |
| Which TT the Pro-Ject RM-5 SE or Rega P3-24? Yes, it's contradictory. Admittedly so.With a stock Technics, you have everything you need...and things that you would cost extra with a Rega: speed control, VTA adjustment. I suppose the overall take-away is that used Technics tables with nice KA... | |
| Which TT the Pro-Ject RM-5 SE or Rega P3-24? The problem I have with Rega stems from their business model, which seems to encourage constant upgrades: platter, speed control, arm. It never ends. If you want exact speed in a time tested table/arm design, then buy a Technics. Later. add a coup... | |
| Which TT the Pro-Ject RM-5 SE or Rega P3-24? I agree with Narrod about the table upgrade. You can realize an improvement in sound by purchasing a custom MintLP Best Tractor protractor ($100) and setting up your cartridge following the detailed instructions. The benefits are worth much more t... | |
| Which TT the Pro-Ject RM-5 SE or Rega P3-24? About 20% of the vinyl I have purchased in the past two years has been worth a damn. The rest has been crap, although advertised as near mint or better. My vinyl purchases have nearly ceased as a result of my lack of trust in what sellers claim.In... |
