Rega P25 Setup Question
Mrgoby, yes use the stock weight for now. The anti skate adjuster in NOT a knob, but a small silver "slider" that sits right under the arm on the black base. If the arm is in the arm rest, it's right underneath the arm just to the left of the cuei...

Here is an excerpt from the manual:Cartridge tracking force adjustment1. Ensure that the tracking force adjustment knob is set to the zero position.2. With the cartridge permanently fitted in the correct position adjust the main balanceweight so t... 
Rega P25 Setup Question
I'm pretty sure the dial on the side of the arm is for tracking force and the "slide" on the base of the arm is for anti-skate. That's the way mine is setup.It is REALLY preferred that you don't use the spring loaded VTF dial at all. Leave it a ZE... 
Front wall treatment
I spent several weeks talking to and studing panels from GIK, ATS and acoustimac.com. I finally bought quite a few from acoustimac.com.They are VERY nice and well made. You can order one at a time, (unlike GIK that requires a minimum of 3) and are... 
Where to use a pair of interconnects?
I have always used my best interconnects from preamp to amp. 
Has anyone tried Blue Jeans Cable LC-1 RCA IC?
"But a pair of $30 ICs is as good as these 10X more expensive? Did I miss anything?" Yeah, $270.00.

DIY? How to get feet wet?
The Bottlehead Seduction really is pretty easy to build. The instructions are step by step and easy to follow. Even if you screw it up, there are plenty of people who could fix it, so it's not like it could never be used if you mess it up. The Bot... 
Walter Becker/Circus Money-Any opinions?
That CD stayed in my transport for several weeks when it first came out. It's very good. If you like Steely Dan, you'll love this. 
How to treat room acoustics? Retail sources?
Here's an alternative to GIK. I looked at both and finally bought from ATS below. EXCELLENT quality and price. I'm very happy with my choice. They have more color choices and are a little cheaper.http://www.acoustimac.com/

Phono Stage/MC Cartridge Denon 103r Settings Help
I agree with Tubeo. Use the phono stage in the preamp. That eliminates an extra link in the chain, (and the cable to connect the link) and probably is as good is not better than the Monolithic outboard phono stage. Table to SUT, SUT to preamp. Sho... 
Class A or AB
Here is what the owner's manual says:Magazines and product literature have both contributed to a great deal of poorly informeddiscussion of “class A” operation over the years. Unfortunately, the thermalmanagement problems of true class A operation... 
Quality of New MoFi recordings
I agree with Jaybo. I have just about every new, (and old) MOFI release and they are quite good. The 45rpm reissue of Natalie Merchant-Tigerlily is stunning. The Marc Cohn and Linda Ronstadt are standouts too.
