| Air Tight PC-1 Coda and more options to upgrade my analog setup I mean, not to be too argumentative, and I am going to try other TTs and options, but being a Stereophile Class A component means they think it’s going to sound great, and they have better for this than I do. | |
| Air Tight PC-1 Coda and more options to upgrade my analog setup Btw, I do appreciate all the discussion here. One thing I would note, is that while we all have preferences on table, and preconceptions, I don't want to let it slide that the Rega RP10 (and surely it's successor) is a Stereophile A component, and... | |
| Air Tight PC-1 Coda and more options to upgrade my analog setup Got it. I think that’s what I’ll do. I’m not opposed to a heavier mass arm. I just don’t want the fussiness. What I love about the Rega is that is sounds pretty darn good and I basically just drop the needle without worry. Phono stage first (and p... | |
| Air Tight PC-1 Coda and more options to upgrade my analog setup Hmm, I’m pretty sure I do understand. The main point is the TT. I want to see what the new Rega’s are when announced (should be soon) before deciding on my next TT. It seems like the immediate feedback is to explore the Phono stage. (Also consider... | |
| Air Tight PC-1 Coda and more options to upgrade my analog setup Any thoughts on the Lyra Etna SL on something like an RP10? All fair comments btw. I really appreciate them. I was already leaning towards the Luxman Phono stage. Kiseki and Koetsu seem to have some very good carts around 5k | |
| Air Tight PC-1 Coda and more options to upgrade my analog setup I understand the feedback here yes. I am going to wait to see what the new high end Rega tables are before moving on that. I highly doubt the Rega Phono stage will hold a candle to the Manhattan Phono stage. (Look it up if you haven’t). That said,... | |
| Air Tight PC-1 Coda and more options to upgrade my analog setup The Manhattan Phono is totally different. The Phono add on alone is nearly as expensive as the Brooklyn (which I also own and also find it a bit cold). I’m going to see if I can try out the Luxman and compare side by side next week. | |
| Air Tight PC-1 Coda and more options to upgrade my analog setup Thanks all. Great points! On the TT front, I’m open to changes but my preference is less fuss. I do this for the music, and love the minimal hassle of the Rega. That said, I am waiting for the new P10 or P12, or something else - at least according... | |
| A new turntable under 500-700euros It does seem like OP has some strongly held beliefs from 20 years ago and isn’t willing to change. Has he even gone to hifi shops to listen to some tables? Maybe the same Linn but with a better cartridge? My 2c. OP has 2 great tables. What he need... | |

| Classical Music for Aficionados We’ve come back but the damage was done. And the music of today isn’t built on the epitome and peak of orchestra with early 20th century romantic music. The music of Arvo Part is no more approachable than the trash being spewed by John Cage or the... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados It matters what you mean by destroyed. If you mean popularity, I’d say if anything there seems to be an uptick in that due to orchestras finally coming to their senses and playing more pop music like movie scores. If you mean the craft of making n... | |
| Mytek Manhattan II Phono or other options Yes, with the C47 Phono there isn’t nearly as much soundstage and the sound doesn’t have nearly the same weight especially in the bass. | |
| Mytek Manhattan II Phono or other options No, but the digital path through the Manhattan sounds remarkably good. I don’t suspect the preamp being the problem for lack of excitement. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Queen - A Night at the Operathis is a pristine copy of the 1982 mofi release. Prices are sky high, but I find it a little flat sounding. Suggestions on a better pressing welcome. |
