| Rega P6/ or Clearaudio Concept, both with same cartridge? The Rega 6 has a power supply. No need to move the belt. | |
| Mag Lev Turntable. Your Thoughts? Saw it at AXPONA 2019. Listened to it on headphones and it sounded very good. They allowed us to touch the platter enough to cause it to wobble while playing and it recovered very well and did not skip. Looked and felt very well made. Not for me b... | |
| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? IIRC, Ralph has made a number of records. | |
| the ultimate solution for vinylphiles???? Almost up there with USB recording Crosleys. Blanks to be $10 a pop. Stylus lasts 100 cuts. The Wired article is incorrect on some info. Better to read the phonocut site instead. | |
| Need Device to Keep electronics off when power comes back Keep safe out there. I read that crazies from middle America were setting fires deliberately in CA because they hated liberals. | |
| Best $250 max phono Cart @mikld looks like Nagaoka increased their prices by about 25% when I wasn't looking. The Nag 110 is still solid at $140. | |
| Best $250 max phono Cart I have an AT VM750 at $400 and don't think it's all that great for rock. Look at the Nagaoka MP150 instead. | |

| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? @mijostyn If you're concerned about your tonearm skipping across the LP when walking around your music room, we have bigger problems than initially interpreted! | |
| Phono Preamp Definitely upgrade your turntable. Your rig is begging for a classic idler and a tube phono. However, some dedication and skill is required to go that route. However, the rewards are far greater than the cost of the parts. Do you have a budget? Do... | |

| Linn LP12 I channel louder? It the table absolutely level?Swap the cartridge leads. If that changes it, then there’s an issue with alignment or the cartridge itself. Check azimuth. Sometimes, it just might just be the way it is with that specific cartridge and not much you c... |
