| Rega P3-24, Pro-Ject RM-5, or Technics 1200? 12-08-08: LearsfoolI would say a P2 easily beats the RM-5. I haven't actually heard the new P3-24, but I have heard the P2 and the RM-5. I would also say it beats the Technics easily. I think that the Regas have a much bigger soundstage, and image... | |
| My LP couldn't beat my CD, until now 12-05-08: Eee3As has been stated the technics table is a DJ table at best and cannot even be considered a highend table.Not true. The Technics was not designed to be a DJ table. It was designed to be a reliable, speed-accurate home audio table tha... | |

| Why are classical solo cello LPs so expensive? It's ironic that this thread appeared today. My older sister (she's 72) just sent me some of her old LPs as a sort of birthday present. They arrived today and included was a mono Mercury Living Presence 3-LP set of Janos Starker playing the Bach U... | |

| does the 640 cambridge int.amp have an output for No they don't. I hooked up a 640a and sat/sub system for my next door neighbor. I've also hooked up a similar setup at my house, in a couple cases trying a mono sub output from the Outlaw RR2150 receiver and another time using the line level sub o... | |
| Technics 1200 MKII modifications and noob help The alloy platter can work just fine; it just benefits from a better mat that dampens the platter more and isolates the record better. The cheapest fix is to get KAB's Supermat, the original Technics mat which weighs over a pound and is only about... | |

| I need an economical but good phono preamp? 11-21-08: Jim_liedekaI use a Cambridge Audio 640P with a Grado Sonata cart. It sounds really good to me. It's dead quiet and doesn't appear to color the sound. I may change my mind when I get more resolving speakers but it suits me for now.Getting... | |
| What's the Best LP You Bought in 2008 My pride of 2008 (and it's perfect for holiday giving) is the 150g red vinyl version of the Diana Krall "Christmas Songs" album. I prefer the quietness and dynamics of this 150g red one over the 200g Classic Records pressing I have of "From This M... | |

| Rega RB300 arm & Sumiko Blackbird - good match? Roy Gandy (creator of the RB300) sure doesn't have anything good to say about the Blackbird, but then again, Roy thinks VTA adjustment is a waste of time and that you should just let your stylus clean your records, and then clean your stylus.So if... | |
| NAD C272 or Onkyo A-9555 or what? Please Help I've auditioned the Rega Brio 3. I own an Onkyo A-9555. I only heard one number through the Brio--"So What?" from Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue," but it's a track I'm very familiar with. I felt that some of the detail I heard (it was an all-Rega rig)... | |
