| Rega P25 w/orig Exact Cart - good? + mV question You can download either a Stevenson, or a Von Baerwald Rega protractor from the vinyl engine for free. Since you have all of this stuff, why not try the glass platter with the Ringmat and compare that to the Sheer Audio or either with the Acromat?... | |
| Switched From Tubes To SS???Glad You Did??? Mr. D, I have a good friend that has a couple of pairs of LaScalas, and I agree with you completely that the midrange on them is superior to the Cornwalls. Unfortuately - and this is just a subjective preference - when I went shopping for speakers... | |
| This is what I already have I have syphilis and a strange desire for single malt scotch. | |
| Addiction to Brand Jensen caps, Arcturus tubes, Switchcraft plugs, Riken Resistors, anything by Screamin' Jay Hawkins or Hermes. | |
| Switched From Tubes To SS???Glad You Did??? Mr. D, interesting, I own Klipsch Cornwalls and Fortes, and I wouldn't consider running them on SS. So they are going up for sale right along with the tube gear. Different strokes.Freediver, I'm selling the tube rig because I like the lightness an... | |
| Rega P25 w/orig Exact Cart - good? + mV question First, if you want to look at friction, remove the belt and replace the platter, so that you are spinning the actual moving system, the platter on top of the sub platter; the same system that the belt drives. I think that it will spin much longer ... | |
| Any difference between tubes. Yes, ours are more expensive. | |
| Switched From Tubes To SS???Glad You Did??? I have gone back and forth many times over the years. I am selling my all tube rig right now to go to a simple SS setup. | |
| Getting Into Analog-Vinyl For The First Time...... Well, I took my own advice and put my money where my mouth is. Bought a P25 and I am driving up to Seattle this weekend to pick it up. I'm pretty excited, having owned various Regas over the years, but not in the last five or so. | |
| Why Don't We See More High Current Electronics? You only need high current electronics is you have current sucking speakers. | |
| My 1st tube amp: transformer buzz audible 15 feet? Jack, a few thoughts. Try a cheater plug on the power cord and reverse the polarity. Try taking the bolts out that mount the transformer and put rubber o-rings between the bottom of the transformer and the top of the amp around the bolts holding i... | |
| Getting Into Analog-Vinyl For The First Time...... The only classic turntable on your short list is the Rega. It has been refined over several generations. IMHO, it is, by far, the best turntable on your list.Let's talk phono stages and cartridges. The phono stages that you have picked are suitabl... | |
| Calculating total capacitance The cartridge does not have any capacitance. The aggregate capacitance that the cartridge sees is the capacitance of the cables plus the input capacitance of the phono stage.Since the whole issue is really so complex, it is often best to set capac... | |
| Klipsch KG4 or RF3? Will you be using a valve or transistor power amp? | |
| Affordable Japanese LOMCs--Recommendations? Johnny, no loading with a transformer and an active stage are totally different animals. With your active phono preamp 100 might work for the 103, but 300 or 1K might work better with the 301. The beauty of your phono stage is that you have severa... |
