| AH Njoe Tjoeb 4000 or Consonance cd120 ?? Don't overlook the Cary 308-T this is a tubed output CDP with great sound. They are $2,500 new but show up on A'gon for about $1200 - $1,300. Nothing "cheap" about this CDP it weighs 25 lbs and seems to be carved from a single block of steel.Very ... | |
| CD player with variable output Cary 308-T a great sounding CDP with a tube output stage. It even has a volume control on the remote. | |
| Denon 103 R low compliance with RB 300 I had a Denon DL103R on my RB600 and it was just fine without any extra headshell weight. I never tried any kind of experiment to see if it would be better with some extra mass, but if it ain't broke.... well, you know.I did find a brand new NOS D... | |
| Why not Music Hall TT's Not just because they aren't easily upgraded... when was the last time you saw some other turntable, say a Sota or a Linn or a VPI with a "Music Hall Tonearm". With the Rega, at least, you've got a absolute winner of a tonearm that can be used on ... | |
| DeepGroove Sub Platter for Rega Planar 3 I've read two reviews at the Vinyl Asylum. One raved about the improvement, the other was selling his because it made zero difference.Take your pick. | |
| best cartridge for MMF-7, stock tonearm,below1000 I just bought a VPI HW19 Mk III on A'gon and feel that it is a great table for the money these are selling for now on the used market.If you could find a MK IV for under $1,000 with a good tonearm you'd be getting $2,000+ worth of excellent table ... | |

| Turrntable With or Without Suspension? I had a Thorens that jumped every time someone walked nearby or closed a door downstairs. I solved the problem with some 4" thick foam rubber that had been part of a camping mattress pad. I cut a 16" square of the foam and put a 16" square 1/4" th... | |
| Budget MC cartridge for a Rega P3 &Supratek Syrah? Another great cartridge in your price range (well, pushing it about $90) is the Audio Technica OC9MLII. This is a great MC cartridge and sounds great on a Rega. I've used both the AT OC9MLII and the Denon DL103R on my Rega P25 and its a virtual ti... | |
| Rega Exact on a Rega P5 - opinions? I had a Rega Exact on my Rega P25 for quite a while. I bought it used on the A'gon and then sold it later on A'gon as I was satisfied with my replacement cart.First, I liked the Exact. It was warm sounding and generally a nice match. However, I re... | |
| Anyone try thr new Sirius satellite radio system? I have XM and like the others here LOVE IT. I'll never be without it in any future car. XM has 2 to 3 times as many subscribers as Sirius. I've always figured that eventually XM will just buy out Sirius. I have no knowledge of this, that's just my... | |
| Phono stage / Preamp Question The phono pre-amp does two things. First it applies equalization to the signal. All LPs are mastered with a special RIAA equalizatiion and the phono pre-amp applies a similar but opposite equalization to make the LP sound right. The other thing th... | |
| Starter Turntable Jump in with both feet! You'll love it. Lots of beginner choices. New or Used. On Audiogon or on Ebay or local classifieds.I like to recommend starting with a Rega P2 or similar, a basic cartridge (under $100) and a simple phono preamp to plug int... | |
| Rega P25 question I'm using the Denon 103R on my P25 and I really like the sound. And, at $259 shipped from Japan it didn't break the bank either.I was using a Rega Exact before... but the Denon is worlds better to my ears.Paul Green | |
| VTA adjusting for Denon DL-103 I'm using a DL-103R on a RB600 on a Rega P25 and when I installed the Denon it seems to make that tone arm just about perfectly level.I was all prepared with an Expressimo VTA adjuster to raise the tonearm, but none seems necessary. I may try it o... |
