| Review: Grado Prestige Black Cartridge Thanks for the review. Guess what? if you google grado hum, this review comes up as a result! My own experience with the mentioned cartridges and issues mirrors yours. I conclude about the same as you, Grados are very good sounding by any standard... | |
| Rega Exact 2 cartridge alignment qestion Just to add something to the responses, you can do plenty of searching the audio forums on the issue, and couple that up with your own personal experiments. My feeling is the Rega arms and cartridges sound best the Rega way (3 bolts and the result... | |
| What gives? CD’s, Solid State? I too used to have a CJ tube amp also (an MV55 w/ PV10). I've also used a Pass Labs class A single ended solid state and now use Rega RS3 w/ Elicit. Simple answer is there is just no way you are going to get that blooming midrange warmth you loved... | |
| New Rega Elicit Integrated - Opinions Well Ryder your post reminded me of a comparison we did in the early 90's when my friend brought over a Creek OBH to compare against the stage already in my Adcom pre-amp. He thought it would be no contest. Suprisingly The onboard Adcom stage was ... | |
| New Rega Elicit Integrated - Opinions One of the reasons I got my Elicit was ease of use- to have the onboard phono option. Mine is the Moving magnet- I use with a Rega Cartridge. I have not used the onboard MC option. Outboard phono stages can be a step up or down over an onboard one... | |
| New Rega Elicit Integrated - Opinions I use Supra Ply 3.4S which has been around for ages and is what I' consider to be a very capable and affordable wire, Rega also has their own called Quatro. The Rega speakers I use are RS3 and single terminal, so only one run of wire per speaker i... | |
| Audio Dropping Out on Rega Apollo and Saturn Well I want to say my Rega Jupiter 2000 has worked perfect for many years and I prefer the sound of it to any cd machine I have ever owned. It was only the Apollo and Saturn I had trouble with, all other Rega gear I have used is fine (turntables, ... | |
| New Rega Elicit Integrated - Opinions Manuals never say to leave on, but some people do, and it is common praactice in the professional audio industry. I first experienced the idea at a sound dealer who left their solid state Mcintosh power amp on all the time. Some feel it actually e... | |
| New Rega Elicit Integrated - Opinions well the Luxman is $4000 and class A, so no surprises there. I have found Class A amplification distinguishes itself with a lack of any hash or grain in the upper mids and treble, I just no longer want to deal with the heat and energy waste of cla... | |
| New Rega Elicit Integrated - Opinions I got mine when they came out. I reviewed it on audioreview and there is also a site called Tone audio that reviews it, they preferred it to the supernait. I was also in contact with a guy who compared the latest LFD, the Elicit and the Luxman cla... | |
| Review: Rega Elys Cartridge Some extra groove noise is not unusual with standard sytlus shapes. I've even used exotic shapes that played with more noise than I expected. I agree with the poster that said the denon 160 is too much like cd's, but I find that to be true with mo... | |
| Budget Cartridge: Grado Green vs Ortofon 2M Red If you think the Ortofon does horns well, wait until you hear a Grado, if you listen primarily to classic jazz a Grado is very, very good. They modified the line a little resulting in subtle inprovements (the number 1 appears after each model now)... | |
| REGA VTA Question Gandy stresses mechanical ridgidity over all else. They feel that Installing a shim or variable VTA adjuster nut compromises the sound and Gandy argues raising the arm up or down a few mm's actually only changes VTA angle by an inconsequential amo... | |
| REGA APOLLO It is a good machine. It does have a refined sound to it, the treble is clean. I think it was a bargain at the old price (I got one new fo 900), at the new price of $1200, I'd spend a bit more and spring for a cambridge 840C. You ask about them be... | |
| is the rega brio better than the rega mira 3 I used both. The brio runs out of steam before Mira 3 will, you get the sense that things are being pushed foward with a loss of composure when you crank it. At moderate levels the Brio is nicely musical. In a nutshell it is "good for the price" p... |
