| Does anyone have these Rega TTs? Friend had P5 with power supply and rega cartridge. Very well balanced and musical. Upgraded to the Groovetracer subplatter - this was a big improvement. Then went to Shelter 501 cartridge. Overall this was an excellent all round package. AB'd P5/... | |
| Decca cartridge experiences Hi, I've set up quite a few deccas. The most successful arms were the Zeta and the Dynavector arms. We used to get the cartridges rebuilt by the Garrot Bros who have since departed. Each cartridge was different, the best I heard was a Decca Maroon... | |
| Which monitors for my tube system in a large room? Compact floor speakers - Tannoy Kensington's are superb and well suited to the Leben. | |
| Which monitors for my tube system in a large room? Hi, I'm a big fan of the Proac Tablettes, you might cringe but you can fill the sound out with a small powered subwoofer tucked away. After a long trip round Proac EBS, Apogees, Martin Logans and finally Tannoy 15's I now realise how musical the l... | |
| MIT cables vs. Synergistic Research cables? For the level of equipment you own you should be looking at least at Shotgun MA or Magnum range. Try all MIT to assess it properly ie both interconnect and speaker cable.Good luck. | |
| phono stage / step up for Koetsu carts I've had excellent/best results with Koetsu's straight into tube preamps at 47k - magic with my Marantz 7 ( mounted on a Zeta tonearm ). Have had experiences with vintage Altec step up's - you really need to try before you buy, but my experience w... | |

| Turntable leveling... Easy way would be a make a shelf with adjustable feet to put under the turnable this will probably improve the sound. Also there is a Black diamond Racing cone kit for the Rega's that I think will provide adjustability for you to level it and prov... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System "The tonearm is now the centre of this ‘Turntable System’ and is the most important element. It must be rigidly held on a base which is perfectly flat, non-magnetic and relatively immune to structure-borne and air-borne feedback. This base must id... | |
| Natural and Neutral could be boring .. Hi I know most of the gear you have. Nobody hears the same things, ie one mans neutral is anothers coloured. The Pass Labs/Thiels are very neutral and clean to my ears if perhaps a little dry. However the Benz cartridges in general are very relaxe... | |
| upgrade phono stage ? If there is plenty of life in your cartridge then a phono upgrade would be my recommendation. However I agree with the above that get one that will last you a turntable upgrade. If it were me 2nd hand Lehman Black Cube, MS Phenomona or Ray Samuels... | |

| Recommended Tube Amp for ML CLS I model 12-27-10: FdriverDover - are you referring to the Original CLS, II, IIa, or IIz?Original CLS, but have also experience with CLS II. My caution would be that some valve amps work, some dont. For example VTL Compact 100's ( 100w ) couldn't drive the... | |
| Recommended Tube Amp for ML CLS I model Hi there, I used to import Martin Logans into NZ many yrs ago along with Conrad Johnson, Quicksilver, Counterpoint etc. They sre actually dificult to drive, although it is very humid here which didn't help. Best sound was with the Quicksilver 8417... | |
| Audio Supports In my experiments 3 always sounds substantially better than 4, more grounded. Unless you go round with a stethscope and dial in the spikes precisely then 4 is less stable. It always amazes me when designers claim they make the ultimate product, co... |
