| Turntable and amp combination Regas are not hard to set up but marrduk is right that direct drive is even easier to set and you don't lose on sound quality when you get a quality deck like an upper tier technics. With respect to ss vs tube, both are good (just depends on perso... | |
| Turntable and amp combination I think looscannon nailed it. I would add that Rega's are extremely easy to set up, (usually under 10 mins, once you know what you are doing). You can great deals on parasound gear. I would also add Rogue Audio integrateds as a recommendation as w... | |
| Opinions on Rega Apheta 3 or 2? You have definitely talked me off ZYX cartridges. I will look into the other mentions you've laid out. | |
| Opinions on Rega Apheta 3 or 2? I'm not married to MC. I currently have a Clearaudio Virtuoso (MM) which I actually like. I'm open to any cartridge that can bring out the best in the new TT. That said, I'm also curious about MC because I have never used one. | |
| Opinions on Rega Apheta 3 or 2? Glad to hear, that third party options are great. There is a pretty good deal on a slightly used ZYX R100 and I might go with that. I also saw on the Rega website that they discourage shims and VTA adjustments don't make that much of a difference. | |

| Schitt Yggdrasil Vs. Bluenode 2i (Shock!) I'm glad to hear that others are hearing a difference. Something must be off with my system and it could be that I have never actually heard what the Yggy is capable of! I will continue to tweak things starting with with the digital cable. I will ... | |
| Schitt Yggdrasil Vs. Bluenode 2i (Shock!) Thanks for the responses. My schiit is definitely broken in, I have had it a few months and have never turned it off; I also listen to it everyday. I think lowerrider57's suggestion to look at the coax cable is a good place to start. I also believ... | |
| Thinking of buying a new DAC - Shiit Yggdrasil? See my post here. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/schitt-yggdrasil-vs-bluenode-2i-shock The Yggy is very good DAC, but I think you could do better at that price point. |
