New Cart? Best all around performer...MM or HO
I am running a Rega P5 with a Dyna 20XH and the Graham Slee Era Gold and am happy with it.The only comment I would have is that my CD player seems to play a little louder than the analog rig. Not necessarily sure why and doesn't make a difference.... 
I want more from my Rega P5
I am running the P5 with a Dynavector 20XH and a Graham Slee Era Gold phono preamp. This is my first vinyl rig, so I have no basis for comparison, but I am happy. I haven't checked out the TT PSU, but am interested in seeing if it significantly im... 
Tubes for Eastern Electric Minimax
I posted this a while ago:Here are my limited thoughts on the tubes I tried:NOS Amperex 6922 PQ Gold Pin US Version White Lettering: Most expensive and the clear winner. Clean, detailed across the spectrum, great soundstage and depthAmperex Bugle ... 
Rega P25 vs VPI Scout
I would have gotten the Scout had I not had 2 young kids. Instead I got the P5 which is a bit cheaper but has a real dustcover. The thought of my Dynavector 20X cart stuck in a glob of playdough was enough for me to leave my purism at the door for... 
Sound Quality of New Blue Note Jazz LP Reissues
I would agree with Mlkiz's observation.I don't think it is limited to those BN reissues's either. The Columbia ones I picked up are thin sounding too. The vinyl was flimsy and thin, I think I could see my turntable platter through the spinning rec... 
battling the pops and clicks

Suggestions for Tube CD with 6922's under $1500
I have a Eastern ELectric Minimax and have rolled it with Ameperex 6922 Holland PQs and its sound wonderful. 
Tube cdp's and Tubed Output cdp's
I agree with Sonicbeauty. I am running a tube CDP Eastern Electric Minimax with a Cayin-TA30 and love the results. I would say however that depending on you listening habits and music choices it may or may not be the best for you. I listen to a lo...
