Rega hum
Hello Miner42:If you upgrade the power cord start with the preamp. Do you have a local dealer? They should lend you a cord or 2 to try, hopefully ones that are broken-in. You would hear immediately if it makes a difference or not with the hum. Whe... 
Rega hum
Hello Miner42:I had a P3 that had the same problem. Rega's response was the same. When the LP is playing there is much less hum. I was using a Jolida JD-9 phone stage (tubes) and I found with an upgraded power cord (LAT International AC-2) the hum... 
Turntable advise for an analog novice
Hi Andarilu:I think most would agree that the TT comes first, then the arm, then the cartridge. You could probably get into a used VPI Scout with a Dynavector 10x5 cartridge for that budget, maybe a few more $. 
Cardas Burn-In LP
ThanksI'll check out Doug's posts! 
Cardas Burn-In LP
Can you elaborate? 
Cardas Burn-In LP
Thanks NarrodYou're probably right! You know how it goes when something causes some doubt to creep in.If the anti-skate was off in that direction how would it effect the music? Would it causes an imbalance between channels? I'm apt to thrust using... 
Rogue Stereo 90 & Perseus vs Cronus
Thank you gentlemen for your thoughts. I did speak with Mark yesterday and he was helpful as usual. I just wanted some end-user input. Turns out I found a 90/99 combo for sale local to me here on Agon. I'm picking them up today and will share my t... 
Did I kill my stylus?
Thanks everyone for putting my mind at ease!! 
Rogue Cronus too bright
Thanks for the responses. Stevecham, in the Jolida I had Electro Harmonics EL34 tubes and the stock signal tubes (also EH tubes). I'm using a Dyanvector 10x5 cart & Jolida JD9 phono stage. I get the same results from the CD or phono. My interc... 
Rogue Cronus too bright
Thanks again to all who responded. I know my room is not ideal, but it sounded ok before. I've made a few room-mods. With acousitc material at the tweeter reflection points. I have a Shunyata Cobra power cord, so I don't think that's a problem. I'... 
Rogue Cronus too bright
Thanks for your responses! Can someone recommend other speakers that might work well. I need to stick with smaller mini-monitor type speakers, probably in the $1500 range (new or used). I'm not too familiar with other speakers. I think the Cronus ... 
Rogue Cronus Holy cow
Stevecham:Which Telefunkens 12ax7's do you use? Seems like there are so many to choose from. Which will you get a bigger change from, signal tubes or power tubes? I have Rogue stock KT77's now. I just bought a Cronus off of Audiogon (thanks Seattl... 
What to expect from MONO
For VPI users, i wonder if the anti-skating could be off. This table requires a twist of the tonearm cable to control anti-skate. I feel pretty confident that it's correct because when I lift the arm at the end of a record it every so slightly bou... 
What to expect from MONO
Thanks for the responses. I do not have a mono switch in my system. I'm looking for a few other mono recordings and will try those out too see if there's any difference or the same response. 
Dedicated AC Lines??
