| Tone, Tone, Tone ! I love the Spendor tone too and cherish my old SP2/2 in my media rig. Some day, I'll pick up a pair of SP100/R2. I also love my Quad ESL57s. Not expensive, not full range but just so perfect for voice and acoustic, and jazz, and techno, actually ... | |
| Should I keep the Turntable or sell it? @mijostyn Shims at the cartridge end will only work in one direction and paper/card will compromise the integrity of the cartridge/headshell coupling. | |

| Should I keep the Turntable or sell it? Yes. There’s no vertical adjustment on the Rega tonearms. I understand shims can be used to lift up the unit but... like this aftermarket device. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMAYgKMSJ6YRega sell a 2mm spacer for course adjustments.https://www.... | |

| Should I keep the Turntable or sell it? This is bizarre. OP comes on looking for advice and rejects it calling a long-standing analog user of some expertise a "fan-boy." The OP's comment on tubes adding coloration is also off the mark but it appears the OP knows best. $1800 or less for ... | |
