| will grado hum? Thanks Ralph. | |
| First used turntable +- $20,000. Any suggestions? Detlof,the benefits of fine VTA adjustment don't vary with the table except to say that they will show up more on higher resolution systems. My former point was that whereas there are a number of adjustments that can be made, once the Walker is se... | |
| First used turntable +- $20,000. Any suggestions? Nrostov,Although not the simplest choice, I don't know what you mean about needing "to make adjustments to it regularly."Maxx,There are certainly many good choices and no one answer; a very personal thing with many factors, not all of which have t... | |
| First used turntable +- $20,000. Any suggestions? second the Walker. Of course you can spend less, and get less. | |
| I walked into a dealer and got a shock.... To rephrase my former advice, the Rega manual instructs you to always start the platter with a manual push. This is ALWAYS a good idea with ANY turntable in that it saves wear on the motor and belt, if it has one. Many tables specifically use low ... | |

| will grado hum? Atmasphere,do you recall what exactly you did to the Regas to cure the grounding issue? | |
| Discount on cartridges vs. other equipment Tiger,are you a dealer? I am and Benz and Clearaudio (as well as Rega and many other) cartridges are all distributed at approximately the usual 40 point discount, depending on terms. A few others are a bit more. | |

| What's a good beginner turntable at $2500+- range? www.audiounlimiteddenver.com is a very good dealer that certainly does analogue. Sometimes dealers sell used demos or trade ins at prices comparable to buying used elsewhere. In any case a good dealer will appreciate your position as long as you a... | |
| What's a good beginner turntable at $2500+- range? "...you likely prefer an open sound, that tends to be more the hallmark of sprung/hung turntables in my experience..."not my experience. | |
| I walked into a dealer and got a shock.... This hobby, in case you haven't noticed is full of extremely varied opinions. My comments above are intended quite literally. You can try to read into them if you like but I was simply trying to add a little perspective since that is what the post... | |
| I walked into a dealer and got a shock.... Hi Dave,I think my post makes it clear that I wasn't stating my own opinion, and not specific to any brand, simply a common belief that the salesman may hold. Just playing devil's advocate with a spoonful of compassionate sugar to balance out the ... | |
| I walked into a dealer and got a shock.... It is common, although not always correct, to think that less power gets you more finesse. It is quite possible that the salesman felt the MAC was overkill "for a room that size" and that you'd get better sound by going for quality rather than qua... | |
| What's a good beginner turntable at $2500+- range? remember he's talking buying used at $2500 or a bit more. |
