Phoenix Engineering speed control
All segment in the each digit lights up while it flashes. I held the switch down on the roadrunner as suggested. It did not stop flashing after holding it down for two minutes. The Turntable is off while this is going on. I had to unplug the roadr...

Phoenix engrThanks for the tip.I tried your first option and it worked. The second option still cause the hum in the system. I left the unit connected with your first option. I also notice that the Roadrunner display continue to flash when I turn ... 
AMR PH-77, ARC Reference 2, Allnic H-3000, Octave
Agucela You should look at the Modwright PH150.I have an Allnic H3000 which is now my backup due to the PH150. Everyone that heard them both in my system think the PH150 was much better. So check it out before you pull the trigger on a purchase.  
VPI or Pro-ject
Devialet  is an excellent system. I heard it a on a few occasions and I was very impressed. I even met the Devialet rep from France at the Newport "The Show" last year. But I do think you should seriously consider an external phono stage. 
VPI or Pro-ject
Mr Bill,The Project is a great TT but I would highly recommend the VPI Prime, this TT is out of the world and you would not regret it. I also think you should go and evaluate both TT if you can. What phono stage are you going to use? 
Phoenix Engineering speed control
Yesterday i tried the Cheater plug and it worked. It was definitely the Phoenix Engineering power supply causing the hum.  I don't want to use a cheater plug in my system so I will move things around this weekend to see if I can get rid of that gr...

The hum is clearly coming from the speakers when I turn on the tuentable without any record playing. I plugged out the RCA interconnect from the turntable and turn on the turntable again and the hum is still coming from the speakers. I even move t... 
Audio Research PH6 Phono Stage - How is it?
djfstI think you should listen to a few phono stages before you buy. That what I did. And I ended up with an Allnic H3000 and a Modwright PH150. I must say there is a big price difference. But the Modwright stand up against anything at these price... 
Turntable set up- How easy is it
Setting up a TT is not too difficult. But it takes trial and error to get it done to a satisfying setting. And you have to be very careful on how you handle the cartridge. I was setting up a McIntosh MT 10 for a friend and my finger pass the stylu...

A-B testing of cables
Almarg:I also have an Allnic H3000 phono with two MC and 2 MM inputs, and I tried the cables with the Y adapters there also, but could not tell the difference. I compared 1 Meter interconnects made by: Audio quest, Morrow Audio, Audio Art Cables, ... 
sound-Smith VPI Counter Intuitive
A few more thing that I might point out. After setting up my Classic 3 with the Counter Intuitive, I verified the setting with my Fozgometer and it was spot on. Before the verification, I calibrated the Fozgometer using the information from Analog... 
Zesto vs K & K phono stages
Franklin,I have owned the original Zesto Andros. After trying several phono stages I settled on the Zesto. The only other one that I listened to that I like better thean the Zesto Andros is the Allnic H3000; which I now own instead of the Zesto. F...
