Should I keep the Turntable or sell it?
I thought we were still talking automobiles. ;)The “Alva” TT is listed on eBay and on Audiogon here:https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis9f141-cambridge-audio-alva-tt-turntable-aptx-bluetooth-turntables I’ll let you know what finally lands on my c...

it's size 12 driven... 13 in adidas.

@tzh21y Neat. Feel free to post a study or peer reviewed article to support the claim that direct drive is better, and I’ll read it. 
Help me pick a turntable set up
@lawaspen you are basically doing the same thing I am. I have narrowed my search down to Marantz TT-15S1 with Clearaudio Virtuoso Cart, Rega P3 or P6 with Exact cart, Clearaudio Concept, Music Hall 7.3 with Ortofon Bronze. My my personal opinion i...

@lewm   Cartridges mate with tonearms, not with turntables. yeah, I don't think anyone is debating that fact, but turntables under $2K come with a choice of cart, not a choice of tonearm. Also, everyone knows you can tinker, tune, and toy with a...

@russmaleartist  I completely disagree with every single thing you said.  Except for the ellipsis part... I agree with ellipsis.

@robelvick direct drive is an inferior technology. Wait for it.....  
Should I keep the Turntable or sell it?
@flynnrd You clearly have not read thru this thread, or you would know I am certainly not a "shill" for Cambridge Audio or the dealer. Maybe a shill for Rega or Marantz, but certainly not the product for which I won in the contest. I have also sta... 
Should I keep the Turntable or sell it?
@boofer lol... yes, it was quite the train wreck at first, but many folks on here offered great ideas and information. I’ve decided to try and trade in my two units for either a Marantz TT-15S1 or a Rega P3 with Exact cart. The Music Hall 7.3 came...

@noromance so setting the vertical alignment of the stylus is more "difficult" on a Rega, is what you are saying?  
Should I keep the Turntable or sell it?
@mijostyn I recently read some place that Rega does not recommend using Ortofon Bronze or Black on their tonearms, and I can't recall why. Any ideas why? 
Should I keep the Turntable or sell it?
@best-groove I think I’m following... maybe. No, those components don’t need to be located in a system at all. It seems what Cambridge Audio is predicating is that the future of hi-fi analog is digital, or more than there is a larger market for th... 
Should I keep the Turntable or sell it?
@best-groove ...it’s okay to get them but not inside a turntable for problems that could trigger. Wait, I am not following then. If you are saying having a DAC, Bluetooth, Phono Stage (it doesn’t have USB, btw) all in a system, then what is the ... 
Should I keep the Turntable or sell it?
@soundermn I definitely am considering a Marantz TT-15S1 because of the Clearaudio Virtuoso cat. I have heard really good things about both, but not actually listened either. My plan originally was to sell both the Alva and the Pro-Ject, which ide...

@yogiboy another member posted about the SOTA... they look beautiful, and I’m sure with the Ortofon Blue it would sound really good. Upgrade to a Bronze or Black, and I’m sure it would sound as amazing as it looks. It’s just about $500-$1000 out o...
