| VTA Q: Rega P25 with Clearaudio Aurum Beta S I use a Express Machining VTA riser with my RB250. It's suprising how much different the sound can be with just a slight turn of the riser. The diference b/w my Pink FLoyd "the Wall" release vs. the UHQR(200g?) release of Dark Side is a good half ... | |
| best turntable for 500$ or less I have had a P3 in the past. While the Grados are great carts, the "cheaper" ones usually don't hum on the Regas(I think b/c the coils are covered). While the Reference/Statement series has exposed coils which did hum on my P3 set-up. It was no pr... | |
| best turntable for 500$ or less Regas are good deals used for the money, if you want belt drive. They also make the Goldring tables too, which are cheaper. Check out Ebay for some used tables. I saw an old PLanar2 on their last night, without an arm. They seem to go cheaper with... | |
| R.I.P Elvin Jones I can't express my fondness for his music and HIS contribution to THE QUARTET. I was introduced to the Quartet in High School, this was my awakening to Jazz. I became enthralled with JC's music and espeially ELvin's playing. Coming from the Rock w... | |

| Rega Arm lift? Is this a new arm? I have had two Rega arms(250&300) both were bought new. They both exhibited this "problem." Follow Bill k it's only a matter of time before the weight of the tonearm will follow gravity and perform perfectly. Just don't forc... | |
| Grado Statement Series Is anybody out there? How about the YS solo mc pre-pre amp? At $325, it's in the same price as the K&K piece, and you don't have to put it together. What do ya'll think. It's listed under cartridges. | |
| Grado Statement Series Actually, dougdeacon I was giong to try the DIY machine on the Teres Audio site. I found it doing a Google search. It's just a modified crevice tool, thatwould cover the entire side of an LP at once. I tried looking up the NYL ultra-sonic cleaner ... | |
| Grado Statement Series Thanks Dougdeacon, my turntable is wall mounted about 4ft. away from my receiver. I did find the price of the kits, but still too much for my budget. Keep in mind doug that I still need to CLEAN my lps. I am going to make a custom attachment for m... | |
| Grado Statement Series Well i beleive I have changed my mind again. I will order a K&K audio step-up, considering budget constraints and the fact that the MU has shot leads. I will use the K&K with IC's straight to my Denon Receiver(for now). Whilst chaecking th... | |
| sota suspension setup help Hey Auaarons, I have a question. On my wall mounted stand(MDF board) I have a slight slant to the rear. The table is a series II and I don't like the idea of my VTA varying because of the older springs. Did you encounter this? What is your opinion... | |
| Grado Statement Series Well to clarify Busics2 my system is listed above;)-~, why else do we spend the time listing them? I do have a Denon receiver with MM Phono input. I do want some flexibility Dougdeacon with carts. I would like to eventually try the ZYX and other M... | |
| Special "phono cables" from turntable to phonostag So what type of IC(cable) do you use for the connection from phono preamp to receiver(in my case)? Or did I just miss the whole point of the conversation?;)-~ Does it matter? | |
| What LPs do you use for VTA adjustment If you want a simpler record, try CSN&Y Deja Vu'. Almost Cut My Hair is a good example. Use this one for the "air" around the guitars, dial in the VTA. This whole record is good for VTA. I have the origianl on Atlantic, which is very particula... | |
