| Rega P3-24 Vs VPI Scout. Too bad that you can't hear them both, so I will give you some broad observations. The Rega has great pace and a sense of the music moving forward, what the Brits call PRaT. The leading edges of notes are handled very well with a sense of attack a... | |
| Rega TT Dust Cover Vibration Leaving the cover on while playing records you essentially create a drum like structure, with drum like resonances. Just compare the difference sonically with the dust cover on and off. I never went back. | |
| Rega P3-24 Vs VPI Scout. All you have to do is hear them and you will pretty quickly know which one is for you. Chocolate and vanilla. | |
| Need a little help, New to Vinyl Mike, of course not. I think that the AKGs unbalance the system and are probably not a good match with the Bellari. They are too revealing for this level of gear and very demanding a load for the driving amp. Get one of the more modest Sennheiser ... | |
| Need a little help, New to Vinyl Great idea K. As an alternative, the Bellari phono preamp has a built in headphone amp, so it may fit the bill exactly. Oh, and it has that cool tube as well:http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?preaphon&1237862786&/Bellari-vp129Welcome ... | |
| Are there any integrated amps with a built in DAC? Naim SuperNait and Bryston B100, to name but two. | |
| phono Cartridge warranties Time to call Axiss directly and complain to management. Make it crystal clear that you expect a quick resolution to the problem. Follow up with e-mails and copy your dealer, and the Better Business Bureau. | |
| Retro Hi End Trivia Question I want to correct an inaccuracy that I perpetuated in this thread. Andy Rappaport contacted me - great guy BTW - not for this, but because he wanted to purchase one of his preamps. At any rate, he corrected me, Rappaport did not go out of business... | |
| phono Cartridge warranties More information please. Was it sent to the importer Axiss, or the retailer that sold it to you, or the manufacturer in Japan? | |
| Jolida JD-9A Phono Stage Hum Problem If you are in Britain, it is probably 50 cycle hum, if in the US, most likely 60HZ. Is your hum ambient, through the room, or is it amplified through the speakers? You may just try tightening the mounting bolt that secures the transformer, or you ... | |
| tuner to tube preamp Tell room service that you want to switch to Corn Flakes. | |
| need help with my Oppo The purpose of the buffer is to present the driving component with a very high input impedance and the driven component with a low impedance drive. The appropriate application for the product is when the driving component uses an inexpensive op am... | |
| Which Component Needs to be Upgraded First Cables, always upgrade your cables first. | |
| Dynaco ST-70 and 6ohm speakers You should use whichever sounds better. The 4 ohm tap will have half the output impedance, or twice the damping factor of the 8 ohm tap, and will exert greater control over the woofer, which will either sound better....or worse. | |
| REGA VTA Question If they don't want you to change VTA, then why do they make shims? BTW, I have both 1MM and 2MM shims, both from Rega, so they have made both. Shim away, why live with incorrect VTA?The other question is a bit more complicated. The Rega alignment ... |
