| Best SACD/CD player Ayre C 5 xe mp although discontinued still available used. | |
| Best Cables for around $500 Ghost, You are not kidding about the Columbias. Well balanced cables for a reasonable cost. | |
| Rega RP10 vs. VPI Classic Signature Bpoletti, I agree the Prime and a Signature would be another good choice but the OP is interested in having a new flavor not similar flavors:) | |
| Rega RP10 vs. VPI Classic Signature If you have the rack space, time, and the $$$, why not have both? I have a Classic Sig with the steel arm and a Rega RP6 but would like to replace it with a RP8/10. The Sig is no slouch and sounds fantastic with even sub $1k carts. Never heard the... | |

| Does anyone run 2 or more turntables... Soon to have a second TT so I can have one for MM and one for MC. I also have two CDPs cuz "sometimes you feel like a nut...sometimes you don't". Happy hunting! | |
| VPI Prime: Casual Review Great review! I almost bought a Prime last week but thought about it too long and it was gone. Next time I won't drag my feet. | |
| You know you're an audiophile if-- ....if while unboxing your latest purchase you think about the ad you will write later. | |
| Power Cord Advice I'm just using a Kimber PK 14 on my P5. Since it's a regenerator it doesn't seem to matter as much, at least in my system. |
