| 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!) 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. |
