| Phonostage for Rega P10 My understanding regarding the Rega is that its performance is so good, a top shelf phono preamp would serve it well Are you looking for a phono stage for the actual cartridge or for a turntable for some reason ? Would you like to mention your ... | |
| Cartridge recommendation for classical listening For about a year i have two different cartridges and tonearms on one turntable connected to one mc/mm phono stage. This is the combination i am using most of the time for some reason. 1) High mass Lustre GST-801 tonearm with low compliance Miyabi ... | |
| Turntable Mats: Rubber, Felt or Cork. I am sorry, but i would never even try any mat that looks like that one in the ad. And i would not use such mats even if it’s claimed to be superior to $400 mats, because i own those $250-1200 mats and they are just great. I think it is also impor... | |
| Cartridge recommendation for classical listening I wouldn’t mount a $1K cartridge on a P3. It’s a nice turntable but I doubt you can wring enough performance out of that deck and tonearm to justify the spend. Others will surely disagree. If it were me I would mount a Nagaoka MP-500 and be done w... | |

| Cartridge recommendation for classical listening Low output model (0.7 mV) will need more gain than your MM input can provide. Also for LOMC you may need optional loading, 47k Ohm could work too, but any lower value from 100 Ohm to 47k Ohm is nice to have too. The output of your Sumiko HOMC cart... | |
| Cartridge recommendation for classical listening And don't forget to ask your dealer about the cost of re-tip if your bought your MC cartridge instead of some nice MM. With Sumiko ELLIPTICAL tip you can use only for about 600 hrs at recommended tracking force, then it must be inspected and after... | |

| Cartridge recommendation for classical listening I really appreciate your input. My problem is that I have no ability to install a cartridge on my Rega arm by myself.( It’s not a screw in type.). Whenever I’ve tried it I’ve screwed it up.I’ve noticed that, but let me tell you that an MM cartridg... | |
