Harbeth 30.2 or Falcon Gold Badge
@ryder    Thanks Ryder, nice to hear from a long time owner. In all the years I've been in hifi I have not owned them or quite honestly given them a critical listen. My tastes have changed over the 25 years or so in hifi and these two speaker mo... 
Harbeth 30.2 or Falcon Gold Badge
@deadhead1000    Thanks for the feedback. I listen to alot of that same music so good to know you're enjoying them. I plan to add a KC62 sub to whatever smaller speaker I get.   
Current sensing phono stages w/Rega?
Got the other phono stage, it does NOT have the Buzzing noise, and as I mentioned it is not a current sensing phono, rather a voltage regulating. It’s a great phono stage, but the Konus is better, and the difference is not small. Dynamics are bett... 
Current sensing phono stages w/Rega?
@dover Will do, Thanks for the tip.       
Current sensing phono stages w/Rega?
Thanks guys..I have another Phono stage coming tomorrow. Tron Convergence, which is not a current sensing. Gonna shoot em out and obviously listen for any noise from the Tron. Will report back.  Not writing off the Konus 1000 yet, it's a really g... 
Current sensing phono stages w/Rega?
@dover    Where did you get the information that Rega will make a balanced arm? Their US distributor is stating they have NEVER done that for anyone.   
Current sensing phono stages w/Rega?
@lewm    It just means it's not to earth (see plug on Rega power supply), it's floating because it's using the ground of the other piece of equipment through the RCA rather than the neutral wire of the power supply on the power supply itself. So... 
Current sensing phono stages w/Rega?
@dover   Thank you Dover!! Yes I’d prefer them to do it since they chose this stupid method of grounding that creates limitations. The one thing I will say for Rega is they support the heck out of their products. I love the TT so I don’t want ... 
Current sensing phono stages w/Rega?
@hleeid    I am using the Hana Umami Red. My table has not been rewired, I am referring to the fact Rega uses a floating ground and doesn't use a balanced connection when I say that.  I've tried a few combinations and the hum is still very pres... 
Current sensing phono stages w/Rega?
No worries, I get it trust me. I am sure it's something I could do if I could find time to focus on it for a couple of days and figure it all out. 3 kids, and a busy job in real estate give me barely enough time to listen let alone tinker. Part of... 
Current sensing phono stages w/Rega?
@lewm    You're making the assumption I a) have time to spend soldering and figuring out how to out think Roy Gandy's design.- I don't...And b) that my perception of this or any other piece of hifi I own is coveted- I don't.  But feel free to c... 
Current sensing phono stages w/Rega?
@lewm    thanks and yes I understand it’s possible, but I’d get a new Phono before I modify my tonearm. The real question is why doesn’t konus accomodate the wiring scheme of one of the most widely sold TT/TA brands in the world. I’d rather them... 
Current sensing phono stages w/Rega?
Thanks..Which filter and where was it located in your chain?   @hleeid   
Current sensing phono stages w/Rega?
Thanks, was just responding to your other post.    Did you just plug yours in with no hum?   
Kumza Stabi S or Rega P10 ??
Well here is a new and unexpected wrinkle in my time with the P10 so far as I audition phono stages. I have a Konus 1000 Phono stage in house to listen to (it’s wonderful), with my P10 it’s making a very undesirable, very audible hum to my speake...
