Worth it to upgrade to Rega P3?
I agree with Elizabeth..........Your equipment should put a smile on your face when you listen to your music. If you are "very happy" with your Rega P1, relax, spin those LP's, and keep on enjoying.Now, if you want to upgrade as a way of exploring... 
Turntable--Cartridge for the Rogue Audio Cronus
Hi Ihcho...............Which arm is on the SOTA Comet ? The RB-250 or the RB-300 ? From what I understand, SOTA offers the table with a choice of arms. Also, any "hum problems" with the Grado pick-up on either table ? 
Vandersteen 1B versus 1C?
I've been enjoying the Vandy 1C's for almost eight years, and they are truly wonderful speakers. I first drove them with an Arcam Delta 90 integrated amp, and they sounded extremely musical and "just right." I recently switched to a Rogue Audio Cr...

Hey Episteme................Great advice !!.....Thanks. 
Rega P5 with Dynavector 10x5....ready to buy ???
Thanks, Learsfool.........Sounds like an extremely musical system. I bet that your PrimaLuna is really a nice piece, somewhat similar to my Rogue Audio Cronus. Did you start out with the TT-PSU, or did you add it later and notice an improvement ov...

Thanks, Learsfool........What's the rest of your system ?

Cartridges - what have you owned and your opinion
Believe it or not, my Goldring Elektra sounds really nice on my NAD 533 table with the Rega RB-250 arm, and works very well with my current system. While I have your attention, I'm thinking of moving up to the Rega P3-24 or P5.....what cartridges ...

Wow......You guys are fantastic !! Thanks so much for all your ideas and all your support. I love my music, and I love our hobby. The ongoing pursuit of audiophile perfection must always remain closely related to our honest enjoyment of the music....

Yes, Samhar.....I do love music. I was trained as a classical cellist, and my heart now belongs to 1950's - 1960's jazz and the "classic rock" of my younger days. And, yes indeed, I have benefitted from all the responses, and I am very grateful th...

Samhar.......I'm sorry that you are annoyed. My intent is very much the pursuit of better speakers, and thanks to everyone who has commented, I will probably wind up buying the 2CE Sig./II's. Your "time and energy" is very much appreciated, as is ...

Thank you, Sonofjim. Very nicely stated. Enjoying the music is what it's all about. Take it easy...... 
thoughts on Goldring GR2
I have an NAD 533, and am quite happy with its "bang for the buck" value. It has a smooth sounding Goldring Elektra cartridge, with plenty of resolution, low end definition, truth of timbre, and realistic soundstaging. I upgraded to a better Rega ...

This has been a great exchange of ideas, and I really appreciate everyone's input. So, last night I spent around 3 hours in front of my current set-up, listening to all CD's......Rob Wasserman (both "Duets" and "Trios"), Sonny Rollins ("The Bridge...

Okay,...... so let's go with the theory that the midrange speaker is a key element to the "Vandersteen sound" in the models above the 1C. Now, how do the mid-range and tweeter drivers in the 2CE Sig./II compare to those in the 3A Sig. ? What do yo...
