Aleph-3 Questions
Here is an update.First of all,this amp has taken a long time to burn in.It had <50 hours on it when I got it.I expected it to start to show off around 200 hours.At that point it sounded very good but I felt my expectations had been too high fo...

Upgrade Rega P25 to VPI Aries? Advice?
I suggest you keep the P-25 and invest in a better cartridge.The Rega is a great table and the RB-600 is a very fine arm.Look into a Grado Reference.The hum problem you may have read about on the Grado's is only audible when the arm is cued up.I h...
