Time to upgrade - need advice
Hi Miner42,I started with Rotel several years ago and still use a Rotel A/V receiver in my HT system. They do make pretty good equipment for the money. However, I have to agree with what others have posted here. I don't think is it worth it to jus... 
Wish me luck
Tim,based on my experience with a modded 834P it will take 200-250 hours for the caps to open up. You're in for a real treat when they do! Did you source the parts yourself or did you buy a package? 
Wish me luck
Just pay close attention to +/- with the caps. Good luck! 
Please help Problem with Rega P3 belt "rolling".
Does the belt also climb the side of the platter? If so, I would suspect that the spindle and platter are not level in the same plane. Just a guess.

Baby wipes. I like the Armoral idea. 
mmf-7 rubbing/friction problem ?
Roy is a good guy. I'd go with his recommendation. 
mmf-7 rubbing/friction problem ?
Steve,Is there any lubricant in the bearing cup? Music Hall recommends 30wt. Mobile One. In addition to that you could try a small dab of molybdinum grease on the upper part of the spindle towards the top of the bearing. I do recall some noise wit...

Raul, I would love to have an opportunity to listen to your system and to sample some of the great food and atmosphere of your neighborhood. I would insist on sampling the local Anejo. I, too, have an anversion to accepted norms. That means I also... 
Grado Reference vs Benz Glider and H2
The formulas are just mathematical models. A good guide but IMO the best way is to use the HFN test record to find out what the resonant frequency actually is. There are always exceptions and assumptions with models and the fact that you're using ... 
Weak point in this analog system ?
Ad010685,I think you misunderstood 4yanx. He was being sarcastic in regards to some of Raul's comments. I guess you have to be familiar with Raul's position on certain audio topics to appreciate where 4yanx was coming from.I must say that it is so...

Hi Rwd,I recently added a Calypso specifically to mate it with my Rhea that I've had for over a year. At first I was not that impressed and did not feel the Calypso was bettering my BAT vk50se. Then I rolled in some telefunkens and got everything ... 
Help educate Analogue rookie
If you are saying that you want no background noise at all then I would recommend that you pass on vinyl. Yes, background noise is a vinyl reality. However, except for some occasional ticks most of this noise is only heard between tracks and somet... 
New Cartridge Gone Wrong
Flyfisher, you should really count your blessings! I would love for my wife to get involved in this vinyl lunacy. She tolerates it and occasionally stops and says, "That sound pretty good." That is as much as I can hope for.Good luck and have fun!Dan 
MC Cartridge suggestions for Rega RB300?
Ha! Thanks for posting 213Cobra! I do have a Technoweight on my modified RB250 so that's perhaps another reason why I haven't heard a lack of bass with the 103R. 
New Cartridge Gone Wrong
I'll third the suspected arm mis-match. I used my 103R on both a Graham 2.2 and Basis Vector and the bass response was excellant. We're talking rattle the windows bass response even a low volumes. I also played around with loading and while I pref...
