| Was your first cartridge relatively expensive? I like pears better than apples. I like what I like over things that I like less. I am not universally saying that analog is better ... but for me, I like it better.I have a DL-110 hanging off a OEM RB250 screwed down to a NAD533. I like the sound... | |
| Was your first cartridge relatively expensive? It is all about care as Eldartford illustrates. Warmth over coldness ... flipping a CD into a drawer is abrubt aka cold whereas brushing a record, carefully placing it on the table, etc, is physicall motion which feedsback ... treating the 'music'... | |
| Was your first cartridge relatively expensive? First cartridge after 20 years was a Grado Green @ $60. It ran on an old Sansui table and sounded great. I upgraded modestly to a NAD533 and now use a Denon DL-110 that I got used for $85. Analog doesn't have to cost $$$. For the small ammount of ... | |
| Review: Rega Planar 3 Turntable put a new belt on and the speed/wow issues are gone.i feel silly after all this grousing for the problem to be so trivial. i suppose it was a dual issue oil + belt. i think i will make this a 6month new oil and yearly new belt maintenance thing.th... | |
| What is a Transcription Turntable The disks are impressive to see. There was one in a junk shop that just seemed huge when you held it in up ... with RCA and filligree on one side and grooves on the other. In red vinyl.I really should have bought the thing! | |

| Review: Rega Planar 3 Turntable When you thik about it ... to have to upgrade an already paid for motor is really piss poor. I didn't spend tons of money on this turntable starting out, but the parts you get SHOULD WORK WITHOUT FAULT WITHIN NORMAL OPERATING USAGE. A tweak is to ... | |
| Review: Rega Planar 3 Turntable the motor is mounted directy to plinth with thick adhesive tape. I know that the new motor is different in several ways, less vibration, more steady[?], but what you said about the subplatter:"If the new subplatter improves speed stability it woul... | |
| Review: Rega Planar 3 Turntable after living with the new oil and seeing how the greatest level of wow has been decreased I have noticed that it is not all the way gone. This may because of power at the wall or motor speed variation, which virtually turns out to be the same thin... | |
| Michell techno or Origin live weight I added the Technoweight to my RB250 and it made a BIG difference. Bass tighter, tighter, less bloated, yes, but the subtleties it brought out are amazing. The tone on trumpet or sax had more texture. Drum taps have more in depth ressonance. Nylon... | |
| The end of LP collecting???? I've got to say that $70 dollars for a record is a wee bit high. I can now get first issue mono/stereo jazz LPs on labels such as MUSE, Prestige, etc because the local record store is frequented by a lot of DJs who, I assume, dump their LPs when t... | |
| The end of LP collecting???? No, really, I am of the same mind. My post meant only to elucidate the issue. [Sorry to say I flubbed.]Buying LPs as an investment is greedy, vapid, etc. Will those records ever get listened to again? As an investment they must be kept in best con... | |
| The end of LP collecting???? i am not against used LP's becoming a commodity rather than an 'art' form or a vehicle to play music. why not. Price them right out of my reach. s 'ok.used record stores, used clothing stores, used cars, ... make them an upper tier product. So I w... | |
| Herbie's fantastical mat vs anyGiven Spotmat Just wondering. | |
| Criteria for a phono stage? It has 39dB of gain, and is very quiet at signal/noise ratio of 89dB.I am using one and I think it is good for the money but the Jolida is where I will be going for the LOMC. You get 95dB of gain at LO!!! |
