| when to get new stylus That is actually a MM, a fancy version of the Sumiko Pearl. Time for a new tip. The Pearl tip should fit but the 201 tip is not much more. That cartridge is a very old design dating back to the 1970s. In Canada it was also sold as a Coral or Andan... | |
| Pro-Ject turntables I run Clearaudio, Technics, Rega and Project tables. Each one tells you something different about your records. I have a new Pro-ject Essential2 for my small system and I am very impressed. I upgraded the cartridge tip to an OM20 and it sound very... | |
| B & W CM10 B&W and Mac is a good combo and Cm10 is a really decent speaker. I use a Mac integrated with the older 700 series floor stander. | |
| Mini-monitors $5,000 - $10,000 The new PM1 and Diamond 805 scale down from the full range B&Ws very well. PM1 is something of a bargain for a super mini. Smaller Raidho should be in scope budget wise and a good match since Nordost demonstrate their wares with those speakers... | |
| Clearaudio MM specs rolled back? I run multiple AT95 variants. They all sound different. I currently use the LP Gear version called AT95se in dark green plastic body which replaced the yellow body AT95ce. The move to a elliptical tip from conical means more midrange detail but th... | |
| Best phono preamp under $500? Clearaudio Nano. Made in Germany. Small high quality and neutral sounding. | |
| Rega P25 vs Clearaudio Concept? No just different flavours. Concept has better speed and pitch stability while the Rega sounds warmer and more textured. | |
| Pro-ject Debut Carbon vs Debut III ?? I have used a Debut II for 5 years on my 3000 LP collection with no issues. The arm does not suck. It is quite functional and work well with your record assuming you have a well matched cartridge (I use a At95ce from LP Gear). I also use the heavi... | |
| Pro-ject Debut Carbon vs Debut III ?? No issue with the arm. I have been running a Debut 3 for 5 years. Probably have 5,000 hours omit with no issues. I also have higher end tables to compare and no LPs have been damaged. Project makes a very fine budget record deck. But yes the Carbo... | |
| Clearaudio Concept MM cartridge It is not an At95e, though uses the basic architecture. I own both. One mounted on a project table and another on a Concept. The Concept is more open, detailed and transparent. Specs are completely different. | |
| Kimber Kable:Spker Cable: Which offers best sound? I used Kimber and Nordost. Kimber on a basic system and Nordost on the main system. Nordost Leif series rocks, especially the Purple Flare and Red Dawn which are both 6 element vs 4 element from the White Lightning or LS Blue Heaven. The two compa... | |
| LS3/5a's - what amps are you using? I use a Rega Elex. No issue at all. 11 ohms. Very easy to drive. Inefficient but 1 clean watt is all you need in my room. | |
| Looking for experiences with Rega Fono pre-amps I use the Fono and a cheap CA 540. The Rega is warmer and more textured sounding | |
| Rega P5 owners Nolitan: not sure if my system qualifies as reavealing but I have been using B&W speakers in my main system: initally 805s and now 704s. Not quite in the snack bracket you mention but these are pretty revealing for the money. Rega sounds great... | |
| Rega P5 owners It makes the music flow better - more relaxing to listen to and better articulation of certain details. Get the power supply before any other upgrades. I use mine with an Elsye2. |
