| Opinion: Best turntable under $2000? I prefer to start as clean and neutral as possible and accumulate any unavoidable but nonetheless chosen colorations downstream. A used Rega P7 would be a great simple clean machine but there are many other flavors of ice cream, logistically and s... | |
| RB300 binding in horizontal movement I have run into this before and was able to correct it but unfortunately I can't remember how. I'll try to chase it down. | |
| Opinion: Best turntable under $2000? Doesn't have to be either/or. True transparancy doesn't add insult to injury and true warmth is only natural. | |
| Opinion: Best turntable under $2000? At that price (and most others) I doubt you'll find any kind of consensus. Apples and oranges abound. Do you have any preferences in sound or aesthetics such as fast and clean, warm and rich, simple vs. tweaky? | |
| Want to Start vinyl I have to chime in on the thrill of the hunt which for whatever reason is definitely gratifying for me. I live in a small midwestern town and I still run into numerous oportunities that seem to come my way unsolicited. That moment when you find a ... | |
| Want to Start vinyl Taters,I don't get you guys...It may not be for everyone but Skcalrey obviously wants in, so why discourage? I second (or seventeenth) Tfkaudio. | |

| Phono stage for Benz Wood H2 Tube noise or "tube rush", is usually a very quiet but constant sshhh sound through the speakers. With some designs it can be accompanied by a low level hum as well. The amount of noise depends on the design of the circuit it is placed in and the ... | |
| Phono stage for Benz Wood H2 The phono stage you're refering to is the Benz-Micro Series 2 Lukaschek PP-1 and is still on the site under Benz. At 62 dB of gain it is way to high for that cart. Optimum would be about 40 dB. The issue with the Cary is the combination of relativ... | |
