Rega RP10 VTA shims
I have observed that the Rega Tonearm + Rega cartridge have a positive VTA (a pivot end raised slightly ) . So, we can not consider only the cartridge height to determine how many shims we should use to adjust the VTA in a Rega Turntable when usin... 
Accuphase Class A or A/B speaker match Dynaudio C1
I have a C2 Signature and i had the chance of listening the Accuphase E 460 in my room and, frankly speaking, I had not a good impression. At first I thought it could beat in every aspects my current Rega Osiris. On the contrary, it could not matc...

Ortofon A90 broken stylus
I have just received my Denon DL 103 SA which was rebulit by Sounsmith with its ruby cantilever and top of the line style. After one month of break-in I can report that I am absolutely shocked with the sound improvement in all areas. I can say tha... 
rega osiris vs simaudio600i or?
I am using the Dynaudio Special Twenty Five and the Osiris drives them easily. 
rega osiris vs simaudio600i or?
I need to disagree with you Meiwan. In my opinion, the Osiris can be considered even " cheaper" compared to the top integrated amplifiers in the market ( I mean Dartzeel, Gryphon, ASR, Vitus, Boulder - the ones I have listened ) . In my opinion, i...

Turntable under $1500 ..... Rega, clearaudio, or ?
As a Rega's fan, I would go for the RP6 in this price range 
New Rega RP6
The RP6 is just replacing the P5. In my opinion, it should outperform the P5 even not using the RB700 ( or a possible redesigned version ).I am very curious about the new P7 and the new top of the line ( which will possible replace the Rega P9 ) A... 
Mod 1200MkII or Buy Rega RP6? or MMF-7 Package
I would go to the RP6 without any doubt. In my opinion, based on my experience with the P5, the RP6 will outperform the Techinics1200 on all sonic areas. ( I can even say that the old P3 is already better in reproducing music than the 1200 )There ...
