| Rega RP8 and alternatives in $3000-4000 range The VPI Prime is right in your budget. I have not compared it to the Classig Sig, but a lot of people really like it. | |
| Rega RP10 vs. VPI Classic Signature Rob - Why even consider the Rega? It just doesn't seem like a logical choice. Have you thought about getting a Classic Sig and adding a second arm / cart combo? That would give you variation. Maybe use a mono cart on the second arm. | |
| Rega RP10 vs. VPI Classic Signature Gshep - Wouldn't a better option for a second table would be a VPI Prime? Is there ANY Rega that could better a Prime? Seriously? | |
| Rega RP8 and alternatives in $3000-4000 range VPI Prime. Buy it and don't look back. Second choice is a VPI Classic. IMO, I haven't heard any serious tables in the same price ranges as the various Rega tables that doesn't better the Regas. Just my opinion. YMMV. | |
| MRA : Myth or Menace? MRA = Mold Release Agent. Though in observing the vinyl stamping process, there appears to be nothing used as a mold release agent to help the record easily separate from the stamper, some feel that there are some additives present in the raw viny... | |

| Cleaning records. How often really? inna - why the insults and condescending remarks? | |
| MRA : Myth or Menace? If mold release was actually used in the record stamping process, could someone provide a reference. I have NEVER seen mention of any kind of mold release agent or stamper release material being used in the process. | |

| Cleaning records. How often really? Inna - Why do you use LAST? And why do you think I should leave this thread? | |
| Any Herron VTPH-2 Phono Stage Owners out there? Lew, call Keith Herron. He can give an explanation of the design. He's easy to talk to. | |
| MRA : Myth or Menace? Is MRA a myth or just a myth? Just to be sure, I researched the process of stamping out vinyl records. NOWHERE in the description of the process is ANY mention of any kind of mold release or special mix of vinyl with a mold release added. There is... | |
| Cleaning records. How often really? Bdp24 - Watch a video of the stamping process. No Mold release. Ask The Disc Doctor.I won't give my opinion of LAST products. I'm still try to scrub off that %&#@ from the few records I treated. After 30 years. | |
| Cleaning records. How often really? Mold release? Really? What state within the process is mold released used? I've watched videos of record stamping and there's zero mold release applied. So when is it used, what is it and is "mold release" just a fabricated excuse to sell another ... | |
| Cartridge breakin ......how long? IMO, it depends on the cartridge. My experience with various cartridges is between 20 and 200 hours to reach best performance.ALSO, at least in the case of an AT OC9/(all of them), if they sit idle for a while (week or more), it may take them a fe... |
