MQA is Legit!

MQA is Legit!
@ mzkmxcv...how many MQA DACs have you actually HEARD?  Looking at specs and listening are two different things.  I learned many, many years ago, that just because a unit tests a certain way, does NOT mean it sounds that way.  You mentioned the D...

 But with no VTA I just didn't want to experiment with other cartridges and deal with shims. It seemed to be a big PIA. My thought was that with the OP's modest system the simplicity of a Rega cartridge was the way to go. Good point!   
Rega P25 cartridge upgrade
So what is special about that Rega cartridges +1  I agree.  I was a Rega dealer for many years, (I've set up hundreds of Rega tables and arms) and really like all their gear...except the cartridges.  I gave up on those over 30 years ago.  I fin...

Sudden problem with turntable
So I thought I would update this thread. As it turns out the magic eraser did help solve the issue. I didn't think it did at first but when i got the jewelers loupe and looked closely it turns out that I didn't get all of the eraser off the styl...
