| Integrated amp for totem wind I drive my Hawks with a BAT VK300xSE. Works wonderful. Maybe you can find one in the $2k range used? | |
| Michell Gyro Se running a little slow Get the KAB speedstrobe or another strobe and check the speed. Since you have the HR Power supply it's easy enough to adjust it. My Gyrodec was running about 1% fast prior to adjustment. But I never had a wow-flutter problem.So, as has been mentio... | |
| Donald Byrd -- "Mustang " -- A First Listen Agreed on "one flight up" that first track is hypnotic for me. Just spun that tonight. Followed by "our man in paris". Also spun hank mobley "no room for squares". Mustang is up next!! | |
| When will rap music be less mainstream? Unfortunately like many of the best music and artists with modern indie rock and the like, the best rap/hip-hop tends to be overlooked. There is good stuff out there, some VERY good. I typically see these artists at indie music festivals. You'll n... | |
| P1,2,3: the best Rega for the job The biggest differences here are the arm, platter, and motor (power capability). The P3/24 has a substantially better arm than the P1. I think it's worth the price difference alone. You can also upgrade the power supply to the feedback circuit TTP... | |
| Phono Stage Question I have this cart. Check your alignment and VTA. This cart likes to be tail on my setup or it gets a little spitty in the highs.Setup right this is a very good cart. | |
| What is the best Software to Digitize LP's? These methods will all work to remove noise. If the noise is REALLY bad, not just some random clicks but really bad surface noise, the filtering can be somewhat destructive to the audio. So you have to use the filters carefully. The challenge you ... | |
| Totem Forest Speakers..... 1. Don't spend any money yet, please2. You need to really drive these speakers to break them in, that driver takes a LONG time (totem suggests 150 hours) 3. Room placement is the next thing to play with. Square room, tough. Try corner placement? 1... | |
| VPI 16 or 16.5 RCM identification help needed My 16.5 says 16.5 and is Serial 27xxx. it is less than a year old.You can upgrade the foam to cork. They sell sticky cork sheet at McMaster Carr (the thinnest cork gasket material). I bought some and it works perfect for use as a 2nd cork mat, and... | |
| Rega TT PSU..... one or two buttons ? Newer model has 2 buttons on front. All had 2 buttons. The older TTPSU has the power on the back. And yes, I had one when I had my P3/24 and it made a pretty substantial difference. Surprising really, Will depend on the resolution of the rest of y... | |
| Benchmark DAC1 Pre - anybody heard a mod? I've considered modding my DAC1 USB to see what that could really bring, but really just don't have the desire to do so. I use a BAT VK300xSE which has a tube pre-stage, with SS amplification. Speakers are Totem Hawk. I really like the way this se... | |

| Upgrade phono cartridge for Rega P3-24 In the Stereophile review of the P3/24, they comment on the difference between the Exact and Elys. The subplatter makes a big difference. Weight, probably less so.I personally think to really better the Elys2 you will need to spend about 2x it's p... | |
| Dynavector DV 20X-L -- which MM will better it? I have some needle drops I just did with my Ortofon 2M black (you can see my system under my profile). Files are 24/96 Apple Lossless encoded. Send me an email and I will place them on my website and send you a link. Most of the stuff I have is ac... | |
| Upgrade phono cartridge for Rega P3-24 Budget? From the Elys2 (I've had the table & cart), an upgrade will be: Rega Exact2, Dynavector 20X H/L, Ortofon 2M Black, higher end Clearaudio MM. The Elys2 is quite good. I don't think the Dynavector 10x5 is much of an upgrade, more differe... |
