| What preamp & power amp to buy? Please follow link...perhaps a consideration. But even more, how about asking Rockport?http://www.stereophile.com/ces2008/010908rock/index.html | |
| Old vs. New I agree with Elizabeth that, in some cases, yesterdays components truly had a warmer, romantic sound which some prefer.Example: In 1982 I purchased a Conrad Johnson PV2 preamplifier for $485 - and that included a phono stage! I sold it off some... | |
| Cables – Speaker as well as interconnects – ugghh “The Sandringham's have an 8 ohm nominal impedance, and also apparently have a benign impedance vs. frequency curve. That will reduce their sensitivity to cable differences”This is big, Al and I’m trying to digest it. So, if I understand correctly... | |
| Speaker footers – Ugh Missioncoonery - Interesting...what did you have between the granite and speakers? Granite and floor?Thanks,Randy | |
| Speaker footers – Ugh Thanks Gentlemen,I should have noted that my Rega R7’s are on a hardwood floor.Rhljazz – You raise a point that I have pondered: wouldn’t the manufacturer provide a pretty good solution to begin with? They show their stuff without swapping out var... | |
| Filling out the sound Jrtrent – Thanks for the pick-me-up! Not often do I see one coming to the defense of solid state products. Maybe the CJ system I had was not as great as I seem to recall, although I’m sure it was very good in many ways. It’s kind of like how legen... | |
| Filling out the sound Cmalak - Components from the same manufacturer? System synergy, cosmetics, and wife/childproof…weak, I know when ultimately the objective is good sound. Not that what I have is awful by any means, just a bit short of the robustness and sweetness o... | |
| Filling out the sound Gentlemen,Thanks for the responses. Cmalak – Your point is well taken. This system is an assemblage of Rega products over time without audition. Therefore, I have no benchmark to refer back to. Cmalak and others – You put forth my best hope; toyin... | |
| Record Cleaning Thanks so much for all the commentary. I'm going to investigate RCM’s, hopefully I'll see some on Agon - thanks for suggesting a few possibilities. I’ll also pursue a dry brush as added arsenal to support my efforts. My LP collection is in pretty ... | |
| Record Cleaning Okay, Photon46 you raise a valid point. May I ask what you are using to clean your records?Thanks,Randy | |
| Record Cleaning And now my thanks to Mingles and Rshak for posting. In my brief research today, I felt that Audioquest’s carbon fiber brush had the edge and you have further supported that. Now, I’m going to head over to the forum link that Mingles provided for p... | |
| Record Cleaning First, I would like to respond to Chuck...Don't feel you hijacked the thread, I'm pleased to respond.Why did I purchase the P7? Well, it was to finish an all-Rega system. One thing led to the next and suddenly I found myself with their R7 speakers... | |
| Recommendation Of Bright Speakers For Rega Amp I have an all Rega system (Cursa, Exon mono b's, Saturn) and Rega's R7's. Sound for this combo? Detailed and a bit bright and forward. Please consider Rega's R or RS speakers as an option forA. what you're afterB. system synergyI see the 1 - 5's p... | |
| What gives? CD’s, Solid State? The thought of a DAC has aroused my curiosity. Don’t know anything about these, so if anyone would care to validate (or correct) my thoughts I would be very appreciative.So, does a DAC reside between the CD and pre-amp for converting the incoming ... | |
| What gives? CD’s, Solid State? Wow, thanks everyone for your thoughts!Mapman, you are correct in that my system has become more relaxed and musical since I acquired it. The R-7 speakers certainly have improved in depth and bass. When I bought this stuff I was told there would b... |
