| Direct Drive @sokogear By P9 I mean the old RP9/Rega 9 - I thought you would have known that. The point was that the top Rega TT's have the power supply tuned/optimised to the actual motor used in that unit. | |
| Analog Upgrade itch @eddiechanghk Depends on your budget. How much do you want to spend ? The Allnics tend to be on the lush side. Manley is very good - and very flexible. I would suggest you do the TT upgrade first and then do the phono later. This gives you th... | |
| Tube PHONO preamp interference - RFI, EMI, bad grounding? @filipm Yeah so I can see that both the ground post and circuit board are all earthed through the 33ohm resistor. If the chassis and earth post measures 0 ohms then the chassis is lifted above ground ( not what you want ). The chassis could be ... | |
| Analog Upgrade itch @eddiechanghk In my view the upgrade to Kuzma R or Ref II with 4point should be significant. The 4point is pretty much unbeatable in my view for the money. I have installed 4points vs other arms such as Moerch, Helius and a few others - it is a... | |
| Tube PHONO preamp interference - RFI, EMI, bad grounding? @filipm IF the first statement is correct and about the EAR (and succeeding posts suggest this is so) THEN the EAR is incorrectly grounded. So we need to double check: The ground pin of the IEC connection should tie directly to the chassis of... | |
| Secondary Turntable You can adjust the arm cue height - there is a 1.25mm Allen screw in the plastic arm lift bar. You can undo it, raise it, and reset to get more lift. See here - | |
| Direct Drive They also have a different PSU for the P10. maybe because it has a different platter and beefier bearing. With the P9/10 the power supply is hand tuned to match the specific motor that it is going to drive. In other words the power supply and m... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? Actually the brain is an analogue processor, so I would assume that if one were brainless, then indeed digital may be best option. However for most of us, with more than the one brain cell, we find great pleasure in listening to analogue. | |
| Could someone with a Garrard 401 Measure for me... @dhcod I have fitted multiple arms - Helius, Moerch, Kuzma, SME on a 401 with the arm mounted directly on the plinth onto which the 401 is bolted - no problems. In other words the arm is mounted at the same level as the bottom of the 401 chassi... | |
| Shelf life of EMT TSD 15 rubber suspension I have a number of NOS or near NOS cartridges from when I was a dealer. A couple after 30 years sound fantastic - as in better than current new $2k cartridges. However most have some attrition, and even though they might track fine, I can hear th... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? I had a customer who was phobic and often listened whilst checking his prostate. He often gave seat of the pants opinions on sound quality. Perhaps you could explain is he listening in analogue or digital ? Have you had the wax removed from your ... | |
| how much should I spend to get a better turntable than my current turntable? @grislybutter Congrats. The P3 may be more expensive but how much value do you put on enjoying the music more, and the Rega will last as long as you want it to - better value in the long term. You can always slip in a Neo power supply and new c... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? @mikelavigne tell us about your opinion about the best cartridge. He cant. He spent over 10 years trying to convince everyone that MM's were as good as the best MC's, but apparently after an epiphany has recently concluded that nothing can to... | |
| Koestu original Onyx Sig pre-platinum cart vs. later/current platinum Sig comparisons Platinum magnets are like green eggs and ham. I do not like green eggs and ham. I have dated numerous Koetsu's over the years, and the allure has waned with the passing of the old master and the advent of platinum magnets. | |
| Direct Drive The Rega moved me more but the pitch instability drove me nuts. I had Wilhelm Kempff playing Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata where the famous triplets in the First Movement were distorted to point that I had thought someone slipped acid in my coff... |
