| Pro-ject speedbox: Is improvement worth the $ ? Not really, Brf said it best. You will be better off putting the money on a better cart. | |

| Help for my return to vinyl -- $2K rig. Hello Sbrownnw,Been doing a little research on the Rega TTs and here is what I found:The RP3 and RP6 plinths are slightly different: RP6 - made from medium-density fiberboardRP3 - made from coarser particle board The finishes are different as I st... | |
| Is it the speakers? Macallen may have contribute a bit but overall, experiencing with new equipment almost always causes goosebumps on my skin!I have to agree with Shakey, a dedicated front end may bring you an even more pronounced "aha" moment! | |
| Opinions Wanted on changing Turntable I agree with Zd542, the LO version will sound better, especially with the P-75 in enhancer mode. Killer combo! | |
| Opinions Wanted on changing Turntable Don't throw your money away! The Scout is one of the few TTs with an upgradeable path all the way up to a a Scoutmaster Plus. Dynavector pairs extremely well with VPI. The DV20x2L with a DV P-75 in enhancer mode will bring new life to your old Sco... | |
| Upgrade question. Rega RP3 or RP6. I think these are stickers you can remove, ask the seller. You will be hard pressed to find a better TT/Toneram/PSU/Cart combo at this price. Who knows, you may even get the price down to around $1,000.00 flat including s/h. Not to mention the fac... | |
| HELP Monitor speakers for vintage components???? Thanks Schubert,I have to respect your judgement because I have not auditioned the Dreamcatchers. Saving the extra $$$$$ will make sense provided they are that good. I used to own the Model 1's for many years and they were really, really good. Too... | |
| Upgrade question. Rega RP3 or RP6. Forgot to add, get a sub or trade current speakers for full range speakers. Dali Zensor 7 speakers are hard to beat when it comes to price/performance ratio. | |
| Your favorite album cover... Led Zeppelin's creepy Houses of the Holy!Creepy Black Sabbath's self titled!But the best has to be The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. | |
| Upgrade question. Rega RP3 or RP6. Here are my two cents:First, I own a fully modified RP3 comparable to an RP8 and I couldn't be any happier! Gone is my late and rather expensive Linn Sondek LP12/Ekos/Lingo set-up and I don't miss it at all.Plinth, 24V motor, and double brace tech... | |
| Linn Sondek LP12 impressions But I agree with you Daveyf.I trully believe that a fully upgraded Klimax LP12 is in another league facing very few competitors.I'm a huge fan of Rega (simplicity/cost effective/musicality) but I also have to agree with you that the top of the lin... | |
| HELP Monitor speakers for vintage components???? Be patient and snatch a used pair of Totem Acoustic Model 1. | |
| Linn Sondek LP12 impressions I guess we are both missing the point DaveyF.In many cases "BASIC TTs" don't require chasis/motor changes nor extremely expensive "upgrades" because they are simply good enough to compete with the best of the best.Your point, start with an entry l... | |
| Linn Sondek LP12 impressions I have to disagree with you on this one Daveyf. Let's take the Rock 7 for example:The TT in itself is an engineering marvel of the modern audiophile world at an extremely affordable price ($3200.00). I don't own one so there is no bias here. That ... |
