Funk TT running sloooow
Well reviewed phono preamp and cart you own!My setting is a little different:Heavily modified RP3 that comes closer to RP8 standards, DV P-75 in enhancer mode, Lyra Delos, Cronus Magnum with set of Ultimo tubes (Tung-Sol and Genalex Gold Lion), Go... 
what cartridge you recommend?
Most likely you will need to adjust VTA on your RB303. I use Acoustic Signature Rega Spacers with great results:Adjusting the height of your Rega tonearm is easy with Acoustic Signature's Spacer Set made from Stainless Steel. It allows you to adju... 
Funk TT running sloooow
Got rid of mine precisely for the same reasons, constant speed fluctuation and extremely poor service from manufacturer. Too bad because it sounds amazingly good when it runs at the right speed.Not sure if a speedbox from the likes of Pro-ject may... 
Has anyone heard the new Rega RP10?
Schubert,I am glad we understand each other by respecting the individual approach to this hobby.Theo,I am glad I was able to help. Give my best regards to Frank. True gentleman that really knows his stuff. Personally, Groovetracer products have tr... 
Has anyone heard the new Rega RP10?
Schubert, I am listening to music with great satisfaction. Tweaking the sound is part of the hobby.Theo,I completely relieved the tension on the arm's VTF spring. The completely relaxed spring does not "rattle" at all.I went with the 130 gram coun... 
Has anyone heard the new Rega RP10?
Rega tables are susceptible to vibrations due to their purposeful and extremely efficient lightweight construction. After many trial and error sessions, I decided to construct a sanbox for my heavily modified RP3. I also replaced the rubber feet w... 
New cartridge - Benz Micro or Ortofon Cadenza?

First turntable advice
Night and day Narunner2, night and day. There is no fair comparison between the two. Instead, you may want to compare Rega RP1 with the Carbon Debut. Personally, I prefer Rega but that's my opinion and not yours.Either one will pair well with your... 
Rega RP8 cartridge?
I own a very similar TT and I use the Lyra Delos ($1650.00) with excellent results.The Delos has a unique pre-angled damping system. The pre-angled dampers work together with the angle of the body structure so that, when tracking force is applied,... 
Pro-Ject turntables
I wonder what kind of table Notec owns?Back to the post:Dave,I've owned more than 15 tables in my 25+ years as a vinyl aficionado. In 25 years I have learned two things:1. You don't have to spend lots of money to get it right.2. Like a new car, yo... 
help me choose my next upgrade
My two cents,At 88 dBs, your DM601 are not the most efficient speakes for your Baby amp and you may be missing valuable information. Shop for a more efficent full range speaker like the Zu Omen (97 dBs). You can find a used pair for around $1,000.... 
Cartridge recommendation
Hello Isaacrivera,First, congrats on your new purchase. Great table by all means. Actually, your entire analog rig is quite impressive I must say. My two cents:The “Source”, meaning a Turntable player, is at the beginning of the audio chain.This i... 
cartridge for WELL TEMPERED Amadeus
Congrats Samtse!This is a darn good TT that deserves the best cart on the market for the money. When set up properly, this TT can.....and will compete with tables costing much more $$$. My good friend Larry, audiophile guru with 30 years of experi... 
VTA adjustment for REGA
I use Acoustic Signature stainless steel spacers on my heavily modified RP3 with great results. You can adjust VTA from .5 to 6.5 with these spacers and you don't have to remove the tonearm. Just loose the screws and slide in!However, set it once ...
