NAD 533 Rega P2 worth upgrading?
I had an NAD 533 with a Rega RB-250 arm and a Goldring Elektra pick-up. I upgraded the platter to Rega glass .....TREMENDOUS improvement. I then sold the NAD rig, and bought a brand new Rega P3-24/Exact 2 set-up. A year later, I splurged, and got ... 
Rogue Audio Cronus &/or Atlas owners ... TUBES ?
Hey Facten..........I replaced all the small tubes, with the guidance of Nick and Mark at Rogue Audio, as follows : an RCA 5814A in the center gain stage position, a pair of GE 5751 "Goldpins" in the 12AX7 slots, and a pair of GE 12AU7A's in the 1... 
Rogue Audio Cronus &/or Atlas owners ... TUBES ?
Hi Lamcam......Which KT-90's do you use ? And, how are they different in the Cronus from the original Svetlana EL-34's ? I'm assuming you have the original Cronus, and not the Magnum version. 
Panasonic TC-P -- G 25 series plasma
Well, my wife and I went to two local TV stores (Best Buy and Ultimate Electronics) and spent a good amount of time looking at the big screen HDTV's. I've done a TON of internet research, and we're ready to make a purchase. My "three finalists" ar... 
Tube Integragrated w/ Phono
Third vote for the Rogue Audio Cronus...... Its internal phono stage matches quite well with my Rega P3-24/Exact 2 front end and Vandersteen 1C speakers. It's a very musical, natural sounding integrated amplifier, with great truth of timbre, a wid...

Rogue vs ARC
I have been incredibly impressed with the quality of Rogue Audio. Donc55 is being quite unfair in his basic subjective opinion, and for him to make a statement "Rougue is cheaply built !" (Donc55's mispelling of Rogue, not mine) is totally misguid... 
Bent cantilever on Exact 2......oops
Thanks Thorman.....I'll keep my fingers crossed, and hope to have luck with this. By the way, if my cartridge does indeed fail, what should I consider as a replacement other than a new Exact 2 ? I really love how the music sounds the way my system... 
Bent cantilever on Exact 2......oops
Okay, Thanks Thorman....No offense taken ! I appreciate your concern, and in the great words of Led Zeppelin, we simply had a little "communication breakdown....." All is cool.So back to my original question...it seems as if I successfully re-posi... 
Bent cantilever on Exact 2......oops
Hey Mepearson and Thorman.......Maybe you guys should re-examine your priorities.....My wife and I just donated $ 10,000.00 to our local food banks to help feed our neighborhood's construction workers and emergency medical providers who are out of... 
Bent cantilever on Exact 2......oops
Well, with a very steady pair of hands, a pair of 3.5 X magnifying loupes and bright headlight, and a fine nosed tweezer and probe (I'm a dentist, so this is part of my "regular stuff"), I was able to correctly re-position the cantilever/stylus as...

HRT Music Streamer + vs. Firestone Audio Fubar II
My mistake...I meant to compare the HRT Music Streamer II (not the "old" +) to the Fubar II. Sorry......... 
Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use?
Rotel RCD-1072....................Since most of my $$$ goes into my analog front end and buying more LP's (a constant adventure), I didn't want to spend a lot on a CD player. This Rotel RCD-1072 is a beautiful sounding deck, and it's "very analog ...
