| Best copy of Wish You Were Here After years of buying every WYWH in sight, my best is an early 80's columbia JC33453. Quiet quality pressing, a little rolled, wooly bass, blustery midrange. Beats my early UK Harvest by a mile. | |
| Harry Weisfeld Was Right All Along On my classic 1 I twisted the wire one turn and passed the first 3 anti-skate tracks on the HFN test disk. With that I took the mechanical device off the table entirely. | |
| Replacing Thiel 2.2's, Need Monitor Suggestions You really screwed up her. Thiel for B&W? Gawd. I'm selling my 2.2's to move up to something bigger in the Thiel range. Let me know if you want to own good speakers again. | |
| Is this the END of DAYS for the high end CD player Well Rega has new models coming in 2011... new Apollo and Saturn, so not dead for them just yet. | |
| Rega P5 Upgrade:TTPSU,Platter Or Subplatter? Personally, the TT-PSU can't overcome the deficiency of the plastic subplatter. If you have any Rega deck below the P7, get a machines subplatter first. The TT-PSU won't correct pitch instability. | |
| Michell Tecnoweight + RB700 Tonearm - Reversible?? I took my Tecnoweight off a RB600 and replaced with the stock. No damage. No audible difference. Sold the Tecno Weight and am happy with stock Rega counterweight.I hear diffs between cables, cartridges, speaker wire, and even subplatters. But not ... | |
| Rega Exons vs. Maia There are pretty clean improvements as you move up the line.... in addition to the power (volume) gains.But yeah, the Exons do have seemingly endless power. Never, ever, have they shown signs of strain. For me, this isn't just about volume. It mea... | |
| Rega P3-24 Vs VPI Scout. Hey Craw13 --- should I still be "holding" my Red P3-24 for 'ya? LOL. | |
| Review: Rega Elys Cartridge For what it's worth, I had similar tracking issues on what appeared to be mint vinyl with an Elys 2. I have not yet tried the album with a different cart, but I think the Elys just occasionally runs into trouble. When it's tracking it does sound b... | |
| What's the Best LP You Bought in 2008 Just bought new, unopened, Jarrett/Garbarek Belongings LP for $12 at a local vinyl shop. Same shop bough a new Return to Forever.Freaking incredible vinyl, dead silent. I want to own every ECM LP ever. | |
| What DAC can improve REGA Saturn? There you go... there's no sense in having a $2400 "$10" transport. | |
| Rega Saturn and Apollo-How good are they?? Interesting recco on the Oppo 980HD. It does sound pretty decent for what it is. But this player is not even in the league of the original Planet.I went from the Oppo to a Planet with my Rega Cursa/Exons and there was no comparison. Then I went to... | |
| What DAC can improve REGA Saturn? Unique chipset...I like Rega, I really do. But that "unique" chipset is a DVD player in disguise. "Initialising"... don't all DVD players do that? Same for the quiet scanning "feature". DVD players don't scan redbook well. And that cheap top-loadi... | |
| What DAC can improve REGA Saturn? Why would you need to improve on the Saturn? With an external DAC you won't get better, maybe just different instead. And the Saturn doesn't make for an especially great transport, so I'd consider selling the Saturn and being rid of it if you don'... | |
| CD player straight into amps? So now your music sounds worse.... where's the benefit in removing the pre? |
