Rega planar 8 : Tracking force and Anti-skate settings @tubegb +1 @triskadecaphobic - Excellent! You have a killer combo in the P8 & Apheta 3, enjoy! | |
Rega planar 8 : Tracking force and Anti-skate settings I don’t see an attached photo. Can you retry? In my experience using Rega’s and specifically the P8 and P10, your anti skate should be about half of your VTF. | |
Need help on phono stage The Aria and Apheta 3 would have great synergy since they were designed with each other in mind. I have owned the Aria with the Apheta 3 although I had the P8 and I thought it was fantastic. I've since moved up the Rega line. You've received som... | |
Rega P10 Owners: have you compared to other tables? @calvinandhobbes - I would describe it simply the P10 is more revealing than the P8. I'm not a big "listen to details" person but it just allows more of everything, definitely a difference that can be heard between the two tables. The P8 is still ... | |
Rega P10 Owners: have you compared to other tables? I had a P10 in early 2020 and compared it to a Technics SL1200G. I found the P10 checked all the boxes for me, two very different tables but I choose the P10 with their Apheta 3 cart. Simple and dynamic. I scaled back my gear in 2020 due to job co... | |
How many dealers do you use? One...Taylor at Goldprint Audio. He is great to deal with, not pushy, he's knowledgable, does setups in his home office (when it's safe), has driven miles to meet me to deliver an item (we are ~75 miles apart). I have a more local audio dealer who... | |
THE IRS HAS TAKEN MY TRANSACTIONS VIA PAYPAL AND IDENTIFIED THEM AS TAXABLE INCOME @nickboy...way to bring politics into the thread. It usually leads to very positive discussions. And hoping someone will die in front of you on TV, you are smrt. What's the BS they are teaching? The truth? | |
Does the Rogue Cronus Magnum III have any real competition in its same price point of $3k? There's an almost new (not mine!) Nighthawk 3.1 on another audio trading site...https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649742425-raven-nighthawk-mk-31-integrated-tube-amp/ | |
PS Audio Stellar Phono My experience was it just wasn't engaging. It's very well built and is very detailed. But for me, if I'm focusing on hearing every instrument I forget about the music. Again, this is my experience and opinion. I run a Herron VTPH-2A which checks a... | |
PS Audio Stellar Phono Same as @rsf507 I tried it, too analytical for my taste not allowing me to enjoy music, so I returned it. | |
Klipsch Cornwall IV Thanks @ozzy62 Did you pickup locally or have delivered via freight?I am curious as to the freight delivery experience. I live in a single family home with a driveway that has a slight incline leading to the front porch.Can you negotiate (i.e., ti... | |
Klipsch Cornwall IV I am considering the Cornwall IV but a question regarding price. Are there any experiences in getting a discount from online retailers since there's no local dealer? I would prefer having the option to return although based on this thread and othe... | |
Raven Audio Nighthawk Cool, thanks for that info. I have an original version Blackhawk and for a few months have been debating....do I upgrade? And if so, do I get the latest Blackhawk 3.1 or invest the extra $$ into an Osprey 3.1. Still undecided. | |
Raven Audio Nighthawk @ozzy62 What were the factors that led you away from the Blackhawk to the Osprey? | |
Raven Audio Nighthawk I've had a Raven Osprey MK 3.1 for the last month. Doing side-by-side comparison with McIntosh MA252, PrimaLuna EVO 300, and Octave V 40 SE. Raven Osprey is my choice of the four. Perfect blend of tube fullness and transparency.Thinking about writ... |
