Cartridge for a Rega P5?
Rega Exact 2...........There's a pretty magical synergy between Rega cartridge, Rega arm, and Rega table. The music sounds simply wonderful with this combination. You'll be quite happy.Good Luck, and Happy Listening. 
cartridge for Rega P3 or P3-24?
My Rega P3-24 with the Rega Exact 2 cartridge is a fabulous combination, creating wonderful synergy with my Vandersteen 1C's. My Rogue Audio Cronus amp serves as a great connector between the table and the speakers. I did a lot of research before ... 
ELP fans
I'm probably really old-fashioned, but I still love my original LP of "Trilogy." There's something about that record which would make Mussorgsky proud.

What's your favorite lyric from a song?
"Seventy-six trombones led the big parade, with one-hundred and ten cornets right behind....." Come' on guys, we all love rock and roll, but let's please give some credit to Robert Preston and Shirley Jones. They were simply wonderful together !!

No frills CD player for tube amp
Tpreaves.......Congratulations on your new speakers, and I really hope that they sound absolutely wonderful with your system. I personally think that the Rogue Audio line is terrific, and the Cronus matches amazingly well with my Vandersteen 1C's,... 
What speakers for NAD Model 314
My old ("classic"?) NAD 3240PE integrated amp always sounded great with NHT Model One's, and more recently, with B&W DM601-S3's. This set-up is quite similar to Pdn's posting up above. It also worked quite well with Mission monitors (forgot th... 
No frills CD player for tube amp
My Rotel RCD-1072 mates quite well with my Rogue Audio Cronus integrated amp. Very musical, "analog-like" sound, with no signs of digital harshness or listening fatigue. Good Luck, and Happy Listening. 
Simple TT isolation.....nice sounding result
Hey Guys.....My intent with this thread was certainly NOT to incite such a vigorous discussion as the one taking place between Symposium and Downunder. I simply wanted to share my enthusiasm about how a relatively inexpensive tweak to my analog fr... 
Vandersteen 1C - Best Integrated For Vinyl Lovers?
Well, I know it's almost three and a half years since this thread was initiated, but I somehow linked to it now. My Vandersteen 1C's have been getting along just beautifully with my Rogue Audio Cronus integrated amp since December 2007. Great syne... 
Clueless Analog Newbie, Looking to Buy
Your best bet would be either the Rega P1 or P2, pre-packaged with a basic MM cartridge, to make your "analog plunge" worthwhile. If you like what you're hearing with either of these, you can always upgrade to a P3-24 (with a better cartridge) lat... 
Simple TT isolation.....nice sounding result
Hi Aaron....Thanks for your comment. I have the Sanus AFA four shelf rack (Audio Advisor -- $149.99), and it seems to do the job quite nicely. Take care, amigo. 
Simple TT isolation.....nice sounding result
Thanks for the feedback, guys............As I sat and listened last night (Coltrane, Red Garland, Ella, Mulgrew Miller, Dire Straits, and old Grateful Dead) I realized how lovely the music sounded as it came through my cartridge, arm, table, amp, ... 
Rega P3-24 and Exact 2.....Enjoying the music
Hey Gmsasso......I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying your set-up. I never heard the Elys II, as I went straight to the Exact 2. This combination works wonderfully for me, and, no, I have not tried any other cartridges, nor am I planning on any o...
