| cartridge for Rega P3 or P3-24? If I were you I'd look for a P3/24 over the P3. The RB301 arm has a lot of improvements over the RB300, better wiring (same as RB700), better anti-skate system from RB700.These are the carts you commonly see suggested for the P3/24, depending on b... | |
| VPI 16.5 Problem Jhsjhs - Glad this worked for you.The suggestion of using a ball-end driver to tighten them w/o having to remove the motor assembly is a good one. I didn't have a ball-hex driver in this size hand. I didn't bother to check the hex driver size, doe... | |
| VPI 16.5 Problem JHSJHS I posted a thread recently on AudioAsylum with a detailed step by step on this, in the Vinyl area, just search on vpi 16.5, it was yesterday, with detailed instructions on how to crank down the hub set screws. This is a common issue and mos... | |
| Best amps for Totem hawks?? please help I use a BAT VK-300xSE with my Hawks. It has no issues driving them and sounds very nice. | |
| Record Clamp for Rega P5? A groovetracer sub platter will fix the spindle length problem (and the out of round/runout issues with the standard rega platter, and you get a better bearing to boot). I use one of the featherweights Clamps from TTWeights, it weighs about 180g, ... | |
| Rega TT-PSU or new phono stage ? I have the same deck (Ortofon 2m Black cart). I agree with these guys, the TTPSU upgrade was not a subtle upgrade. I don't think you're going to substantially better your internal preamp in the $375 range. I'm not a fan of tweaks, but I also recen... | |
| rega p3/24 vs. music hall mm5.1 I feel the Rega P3/24 with the TTPSU is the best performer in it's price range. I have one, and listened to others before I went with the Rega. Very solid performing table with an EXCELLENT arm. The RB301 I feel is substantially better than the ar... | |
| Cartridges for Rega P5, RB700 Unless you have the preamp to go with MC, try the Ortofon 2m Black. I'm using this on my p3-24 with the TTPSU. This is a very nice MM Cart, with same shibata stylus they put on their jubilee cart (and costs a LOT more). Mounts perfect on the rega ... | |
| Should I go to a Benchmark DAC1 pre in my system? And they back it up with a 30 day no question's asked guarantee. Buy direct. Try it. If you're like me, you'll keep it. I have the USB version connected to my MacMini media server (1300 cds) in lossless digital format, along with a couple dozen vi... | |
| Rega's T/T power supply: Is it worth the money? Sure, just giving one dealer (and a very respected & long-time rega dealer's) feedback. His opinion was that the P3-24 with the TTPSU offers all the great things that made the P5 a step up from the older P3. I've not auditioned any of them in ... | |
| Rega's T/T power supply: Is it worth the money? I hope so, I just ordered one for my P3-24 TODAY.:-) along with an Ortofon Black MM Cart. Seriously, very accurately controlling the speed of the platter is tops in list of important things. My dealer said the P3-24 with the TTPSU really is about ... | |
| Totem Hawk with BAT-300xSE Ended up picking up a nice BAT-300xSE here on Audiogon. Very happy with it's performance with the Hawks. Highly recommended! |
