Rega planar 25/rb600 cartridge recommendations
I have owned a P25 for many years.  The table has almost every aftermarket mod you can put on it.  I've tried numerous cartridges on it.Currently it has an Audio Technica AT-150MLX that works and sounds wonderful.

BluOS server with USB out?

RF Chokes/Ferrite Beads, do they have a place in your system?
