| Turntable Upgrade Advice Needed Rega P9 or Oracle stop throwing your money away on Rega upgrades. I made that mistake once in my life too. it will get you nowhere, they are not good tables. | |
| AFFORDABLE HIGH VFM RACKS - Opinions Please... I have the Core Audio rack and it's very high quality and packaged extremely well. Arnold is also a great person to work with. | |
| Phono preamp suggestions I had the same table and cart as you at one point, with a Jolida JD-9A. not a bad setup. I'd probably try out that new i-phono device that people are raving about. it's only $400 new. | |
| dc10audio Berlin Destryed the Competition at RMAF they aren't his speakers though, the manufacturer as pleaded with him to stop this. I wouldn't discount the speakers because of this weirdo. | |
| Best loadings for Shelter 501 Mkll you should probably try it at 100ohms. 47k ohms is for MM carts. | |
| VPI Classic vs. Well Tempered Amadeus I guess I just have noisy knots. I've had 3 Amadeus, a multitude of knots, and they all make noise. it's not something you hear with music playing.get a DPS and use that to control the power. it has a switch. | |

| AS Challenger mk 2 vs. Avid Diva 2 sp vs. Rega P9 Fjn04 - Yes, that's true. | |
| AS Challenger mk 2 vs. Avid Diva 2 sp vs. Rega P9 if I had to put a number to it I'd say the GTA is 5-10% better, most notably for me is the bass and an overall "bigger" sound. I'm also hearing some slight nuances that I never did before. | |
| Upgrading from Rega P5 TT Get away from Rega while you can. By the time you do all the upgrades (I've been there) you could have a new Well Tempered Simplex. I have an Amadeus and I hear the Simplex is almost as good. The Rega is not in the same universe, even with all the... | |
| AS Challenger mk 2 vs. Avid Diva 2 sp vs. Rega P9 The Amadeus GTA is vastly different in a build quality sense when compared with the MDF based Amadeus. I don't think the standard Amadeus has poor build quality, but I agree that it is not "substantial" feeling. I was surprised how much better the... | |
| Best 845 tube out there? has anyone heard the new Shuguang Natural Sound 845-T series? | |
| Well Tempered SIMPLEX or Rega RP6 Well Tempered and Rega in the same sentence? Oh my... | |
| Best used turntable/arm combo for under $7,500.00 Amadeus GTA and DPS, new, for $4200. |
