| Serious distortion from Rega RP1 I wish I could return the Rega, but alas I'm well passed the warranty period. Part of the reason for a new cartridge is simply to have another "baseline" with which to isolate whatever technical problem is going on here, which is difficult to do w... | |
| Serious distortion from Rega RP1 Hi all,Well, I've established that the cartridge is perfectly aligned according to a Rega Baerwald protractor I found online. I have no way to test the phono stage at this point (no other turntable to use as a baseline), but my hunch is that someo... | |
| Serious distortion from Rega RP1 One more note: I know it's often the case that distortion is more common in loud passages due to grooved-out records or toward the end of an album due to cartridge misalignment. This distortion isn't related to volume or location of the stylus on ... | |
| Serious distortion from Rega RP1 Hi all,Sorry for the delay and thanks for your responses. The catridge connections all appear very solid. Unfortunately I've only got the one phono stage, so I have no way of swapping it out.Dougdeacon, here's a bit more info: The distortion is de... | |
| 2nd hand classical Lps in London Thanks for the advice. I was hoping to find an actual music store with a decent and organized collection rather than resorting to the charity shops with a few random and moldy LPs sitting in the corner (though I am happy to give them my business f... | |
| 2nd hand classical Lps in London Hi all,I moved to London recently and thought I'd pull this thread back up to ask if anyone has ideas for good vinyl around town. So far, I've found the scene here to be downright annoying. Prices are not only high, but the purveyors seem to be mi... | |
| Audio and the "jet set" - please help Thanks all. One thing working in my favor is that I tend to go for high sensitivity speakers with low-powered amps, which means I can use amps that don't have huge current draw.One thing I'm pondering, for instance, is basing my system around an a... | |
| Speakers under $700 for 8W Per Channel Tube SET You might also consider the single-driver Omegas - perhaps the Super 3 (or 5) XRS in your price range. | |
| Extending speaker wire? Done - and all is well. The sound is acceptable. The family is appeased. Mission accomplished. Thanks, all, for the help. | |
| Extending speaker wire? Thanks all - I'll try this and report back. | |
| Extending speaker wire? Thanks for the response. This is a 30-ft run of cable, and I'd rather not spend hundreds on a new set. This is a mid-fi setup, so perhaps I can worry a little less about the slightly degraded sound quality. Or might the difference be really signif... | |
| What power conditioners can convert 230v to 120v? Hi all,I'm in the same situation: I need some sort of power conditioner/surge protection that will also step down 240 to 120. The Richard Gray stuff looks nice, but is far more expensive than what I want to pay. Anyone know of cheaper (and simple)... | |
| Very small very sensitive floor stander 1000? Hi Dgaylin,I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Omega Super XRS either 3 or the newer 5). They come up used not too infrequently, are 93db sensitive, and in the right veneer look excellent. I haven't owned them, but I've heard them many times an... | |
| Bellari with medium output cartridges? Thanks, that's what I needed to know! | |
| It's been said before, but I'll say it again... I agree with most of the above. There's obviously a spectrum of politeness or chatiness, and for me even the bare minimum will do, but there IS a minimum! If this is a reflection of society as a whole, and I've unfairly singled out Audiogon, so be... |
