Cartridge for Rega Planar 3?
Not sure why you would spend $1k for a cartridge for a $1k turntable that you will be plugging into a receiver.  I have no experience with the Planar 3.  Rich  
turntable " thump " sound when not running
Only reason to plug into the back of the preamp is that you power off the turntable, when you shut off your preamp.  It is better, in general, to plug the turntable into a separate outlet.  Your Adcom equipment is in the 25 years or so age range. ... 
Anyone own or heard of PrimaLuna?
I have owned two Prima Luna amplifiers for the last 12 years (PL2 integrated and PL 5 power amp).  I have not had any issues in all that time.  12 years ago, I wrote a review of the PL2 for Audiogon.  My feelings are only more positive after 12 ye...

You may want to reach out to KAB USA, who are TECHNICS 1200 specialists.  Not sure if they offer consulting services, but it is worth the call. https://www.kabusa.com/Rich  
Turn table for my kid???
Not asking too much.  $250 for a turntable, $250 for powered speakers. If you are buying new, I still stand by the Audio Technica LP120.  I have owned the turntable and have set it up for a few friends' systems.  Go to any Guitar Center or profess... 
Turn table for my kid???
If you read through the posts, he does give an idea to budget.  He was looking at an AT LP60 with powered speakers for $350.  Most of the replies have been saying you need to be in the $500 range (assuming new) for TT and speakers, unless you want... 
Turn table for my kid???
Anybody own a U-Turn Orbit and can speak from experience?  I ask because I think back of when I had the Pro-ject Carbon Debut and could not understand the rave reviews, after using the turntable.  I thought that the Audio Technica 120LP offered a ...

Turn table for my kid???
Hi TB -The LP60 is a bit of a plastic toy.I have set up a few of my buddies' post college age kids with the Audio Technica LP120.  It is sturdy, the built in preamp is decent and is not susceptible to hum, and the included cartridge is ok.  The si...

Which amp for Energy Veritas v2.3i?
Thank you mb1.  Your Rowland comment put a smile on my face.  I had right knee replacement surgery 3 weeks ago (the left knee was replaced in June).   Chuckles have been few and far between.  Best of the New Year!Rich

Which amp for Energy Veritas v2.3i?
$350 for the Adcom trio sounds very tempting.  What would make me hesitate is that that series of Adcom equipment is 25 years old.   The NAD 356BEE is probably in the 10 year or so age range.  It is all good stuff, I am just not a fan these days o...

Well another way to look at this ... what are we listening to today that was composed/ recorded/ etc. from 1916?  And by listening, I mean more than passively listening to.  Possibly Stravinsky?   Rich
