| Rega P25 question Todd,Thanks for the reco. Are we talking about the Denon 103 on a Rega p25? I assume yes, but please tell me. | |
| Rega P25 question Thanx,I've always been curious about Dynavector. Never heard one. How much is the 20x or 10x5? | |
| Poor sound from Rega Planar 3 If you are still following this thread I should also mention that when we used the AT120e the original Rega felt mat worked well with it (it's a plain black thick felt mat), but when we tried a Linn mat for whatever reason it sounded thin. Our ove... | |
| Poor sound from Rega Planar 3 Oh, one more thing that could be causing the problem you describe:The cartridge you have may be a low output moving coil (you said you weren't sure which model it is). If you try to play a moving coil into a standard phono preamp you will have ver... | |
| Poor sound from Rega Planar 3 Yes, I'd guess something is wrong. One thing I forgot to mention is that at the time my friend was using a Sumiko Blue Point Special and now has an Audio-Technica 120E cartridge. Both are good matches with the rega arm. The AT120E is a suprisingly... | |
| Poor sound from Rega Planar 3 This may be the "magic bullet" you are looking for.One of my friends has had a Plannar 3 now for about 10 years. It was never a "used" turntable, but in the first 4 years of owning it, he had moved so many times (college to home to California and ... | |
| Turntable - And Sanity - Question Oh by the way, John, I may be mistaken about the exact model # of the AR turntable I heard. They had a few from the 80's, an EB-101 and also an ES1-LEGEND. It was definitely a Linn basik+ arm and a Linn k9 cart, but I'm not sure if it was an EB-10... | |
| Turntable - And Sanity - Question Only time I heard this table was with a linn basic+ arm and Linn k9 cartridge. The synergy between them was amazing, sounded great. However it might be hard to find these, they are discontinued...and the arm has no removable headshellps this table... | |
| Best Integrated Amp for Linn Tukans Sorry for the delayed response.Yes, I found the Nait III to be bold and dynamic driving the Tukans, the volume knob was around "11:00" and it was moderately loud (but not obnoxious). This was about eight years ago, but I remember we were listening... | |
| Best Integrated Amp for Linn Tukans I will throw in my 2 cents - I heard this combo myself at a Linn dealer in NY - It was amazing. Combo was Naim Nait III sitting on steel spiked floor stand, pretty sure it was Linn k20 speaker cable (or a smaller chance it could have been Naim cab... | |
| Is there a cd player that sounds close to an LP? Yes, I'm in general agreement with you guys. CD's can be a bit annoying compared to a nice turntable, HOWEVER I also agree you don't want to ruin the good thing youv'e got going with your analog rig by changing speaker cables, etc just to tame the... | |
| Save a vinyl newbie, please If you are in a situation where you can drill holes in the wall, get an Apollo wall shelf from Needle Doctor (theyv'e got a website). It's got adjustable steel spikes so you can perfectly level the table, and the minimal contact point of the spike... | |
| Save a vinyl newbie, please If the exact same turntable sounded great at the dealers then the problem is not with the records, it's got to be some sort of setup issue. Unless you changed any of the anti-skate, tracking force, etc. since he had it playing you can rule those o... | |
| Improvement over Kimber/Ixos combination? I've got IXOS Gamma Encore 1002 interconnects ($50 closeout thru Audio Advisor) and IXOS 6003 speaker cable (about $2/ft) That's my current cable setup and it seems like a good comprimise of performance at the price point (no obvious weakneses). H... | |
| What's under YOUR CD player? I could lie & say I've got something exotic, but no...just Audioquest sorbothane pucks (old school ones from about 10 years ago). |
