Installing Origin VTA on P25
hope u get some responses here..i'm another one with a rega 25 who'd like to dial in vta better. there is a rega forum on vinyl engine that u could look at. and, a brit site, pink fish media might be a help if you're able to get into their archives. 
Your First Concert was.....

I walked into a dealer and got a shock....

Most popular TT upgrades: skeptical but curious...
"changed the sound?" well, i guess u could put it that way. i like to think the heed orbit/vh flavor 4 combo enabled the rega to realize its potential. prior to the power cord switch, the sound was alright but a bit "thin." now rhe sound has more ...

kind of a snooty reply there, stringreen. my perception of the sound i'm getting now, in relation to the scoutmaster's sound, is an (ephemeral) "bubble" heh?i've never heard the vpi scoutmaster, so there is a chance that it may play at your "big-b...

Alpha Core Goertz
when i saw this thread a while back, i was going to pile on, but then i decided to just let it go. last summer, i sent a query to alphacore about the use and necessity of their zobel network in my system. in reply, i was told the zobel was to be p...
