| Upgrade from Rega P5 I would agree with Dayglow, if you must buy a new table. The P9 certainly exceeds the performance of a great many tables costing quite a bit more. | |
| Do you believe in Magic? Bryon and Al, just saw this thread. Fascinating and informative. You two, along with Atmasphere, have taught me more on this site than anyone. I always look forward to your observations and comments. | |
| Top 10 Jazz recordings ever I have to chime in here and again stick up for Wynton Marsalis. He is very well respected in the music world not just for his impeccable technique but also for his musicianship. He takes the same bad rap in the jazz world that someone like Alfred ... | |
| Rega P5 vs RP6 purchasing dilemma Hi Vortrex - I guess another thing I was trying to say is that I personally wouldn't spend time and money "upgrading" a product. While I realize a great many people in this hobby like to do it, I am not a tweaker; I prefer to buy something that al... | |
| Back In the Day Amen, Frogman, amen. There is very little discussion of music and musicians on this site, for that matter. There is more on the asylum, but they have a dedicated forum for it. I have always wondered why there wasn't one here. Of course, even when ... | |
| Upgrading from Rega Apollo to Rega Saturn CD?? I like my Apollo, but I know alot of others who have upgraded to the Saturn and like it. I have also heard good things about the DAC. If you do try one of those, let us know what you think! | |
| some home theater advice please Hi Wemfan - you might consider a good AVR. I used to use a Harmon Kardon, but now I have my plasma separate from my audio system. You will also need to have a phonostage for vinyl unless there is one built in to your preamp. | |
| Rega P5 vs RP6 purchasing dilemma I agree Nanbil - Regas are very well designed and built. I have never had even a hint of an issue with my P5. Too many audiophiles think that cost=performance. Me, I judge by what I hear, not by what I see. Rega's design works very well. Vortrex, ... | |
| Classical Record Labels and Recording Engineers... Great thread, just saw it for the first time. A couple of thoughts - I agree that some Columbia's are great, some are not. Someone told me once that Columbia did not use the same RIAA curve as everyone else all the time, and alot of the ones that ... | |
| Analog is the new pink Like Frogman, I strongly disagree with much that has been said here. I have always found that young people, if exposed to a good vinyl set-up (and no, it doesn't have to cost thousands of dollars), do immediately hear the difference. Especially if... | |
| Rega P5 vs RP6 purchasing dilemma Hi - P5 owner here. As Elizabeth noted, we can't really comment on the new table and arm, as they have just been released. The RB-700 arm is significantly better than the RB301, however. I would strongly disagree with Vortrex. Rega's sound quite a... | |
| Anything like an Altec Model 19 I have heard Pi speakers more than once, and I would have to strongly disagree that they sound anything like a good pair of Altecs. I would say a different model of Altecs would be the way to go, there are always a few pairs on offer here. I would... | |
| KT120 for Primaluna or Mystere? I would assume it has something to do with the circuitry rather than the auto-bias feature. I would contact the PrimaLuna rep for the US, I believe his name is Kevin Deal. Don't have the contact info in front of me, and I have never needed to cont... | |
| Classical label RCA, Decca, EMI, etc discography Wow! I've never heard of this book before! Thanks for posting the link! | |
| Fed up with people making noise at classical shows Rok2id, just about every big orchestra in the country does quite a lot of children's concerts. Education is a big part of most orchestra's mission statements. My orchestra, like many, gets a fairly large grant from the state to tour specifically w... |
