| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Late to the party. The Barodin Symphony No.2 shootout. First off, your system sounds great especially with my upgraded subwoofer. Second, the Sony really does excel. I listened to the LDR first and it sounded good but the subdued triangle near th... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Current 93 - Thunder Perfect MindProbably the best album ever made. | |
| Turntable cost:benefit What Dan said. My AudioGrail 401 in a slate plinth with a new steel idler, new heavier platter, and oversize bearing cost about $4200 (+ 2 tonearms) and would trash that SME for less than a quarter of their asking price. To answer your question on... | |

| Stylus Profile Discussion Agreed. I have Shibata, extended line contact, Paratrace and Microscanner and never worried any more than dialing in VTA when it came to setting them up. | |
| Can the Rega Elex-R Drive It? Damn forum error lost my long answer.Klipsch RM600 is very good at good price.If I was buying, I’d try the 60 day trial of the Tekton Impact Monitor at $2k delivered. | |
| Can the Rega Elex-R Drive It? Elac’s site specs them at 6 ohms. The Rega is speced at 90w into 6 ohms. You’ll be fine especially as you don't play too loud. You are setting the limits on your expectations by dismising floor- standing units. | |
| Phono Preamp Tube Rush I use a number of Deccas inc the SG and cannot recall this issue with my Croft 25R with Shuguang Black 12AX7LS. But then again, between vinyl roar, and tape hiss on older recordings, you’re making me second guess what I feel is a near silent amp. ... | |
| Which vintage direct drive? @halcro uses a TT-101. Nice arm. |
