| Worst Concerts You Have Attended ?? Rockadanny, Yes I agree. Some of the worst concerts I've been to were due to a bass head at the sound board which results in making vocals and the rest of the music unintelligible. | |
| Searching for a new CD player The Rega Apollo-R is an excellent player and available used within your budget. | |
| Technics 1200G phono recommendations The questions you ask, although valid, are open to very subjective answers. I have the 1200G and use a Pass Labs XP-15, to my ears the sound is very analog in nature. I alternate between a Cayin tube and Luxman SS integrated. Since you have a tube... | |
| Vinyl cleaning - Ultrasonic vs. Walker products "For a few hundred bucks more, even less on the used market, get a vacuum machine system but something that does NOT have the record(s) bottom sides on a flat surface while you’re cleaning the top side.

| Vinyl cleaning - Ultrasonic vs. Walker products I own the Okki Nokki, about $500 and it does an excellent job for a vacum cleaner. The VPI is also within your budget. The motor on the VPI is a little louder if that matters to you. | |

| Can I place outdoor screen over air vents on top of my amplifier vs. dust/hair entering? When not in use,I cover my amps with dust covers from Stan at radio dust covers. He makes a quality product and can sew in the manufacturers logo if wanted.https://radiodustcovers.com/ | |

| Who else is using old cables/interconnects, and is happy? morestereostuff, I agree. I use reasonably priced cables from Silnote, Cullen and Morrow. For me, chasing cable nirvana is a waste of time and money. Just my opinion, I know everything matters. | |
| Looking for a new phono preamp I know you said new, but a used Pass Labs XP15 would be within your budget. I have one and it sounds great and is very quiet. If you do not have easy access to the back, the dip switches can be a bit of a pain. | |
| Looking for RP6 insight Sky, Yes I know but it's a PIA. It wasn't worth the trouble on my P3-24, but perhaps so on a RP6. | |
| Looking for RP6 insight Ageee ^^^^^I had the Exact II on a P3-24, It's a good cartridge. Try to get the RP 6 for $900. Remember Rega TT's have no VTA so your cartridge choices are limited. | |
