| What are your Original Rega Planet I bought it as my first high end CDP more than 7 years ago. I had posted already a for sale ad and just before packing it up took another listen - no chance I could sell it after that. For the going rate I won't be able to fin... | |
| Newbie wants tube recommendations Mapleleafs3, glad to hear you are not prejudging equipment and I am sorry I assumed wrong. My guess is that at the dealer, where you listened, they were using the stock tubes which are much less than stellar. A very basic upgrade of the preamp and... | |

| Newbie wants tube recommendations Mapleleafs3, have you actually listened to one of those "China mid fi" products? They are surprisingly good. I agree that a used Rogue, Quicksilver, Cary, AES etc. might have been a better investment in the long term for not much more. Just catego... | |
| Newbie wants tube recommendations The Jolida 302b is a great tube amp for a start...solid sound and inexpensive.Enjoy! | |
| Tube 2nd system for 5k. Jsonic, with the right speakers the Fi X rocks, better than my previous Jolida 302b. It is all just a matter of matching the right speakers. I have a pair of Cain Abbys powered by a Fi Y and Super X combo. Switching to the Fi X provided way more b... | |
| Need help with Turntable set-up in San Diego As George suggests, setting up a cartridge correctly is not that difficult, in particular a Rega is pretty easy to set up. The DB systems alignment protactor works well and has detailed instructions. Just a little patience required and a skill wor... | |
| CD output voltage too high for preamp: what to do? Hifi57audio, I was wondering about exactly the same point concerning imput impedances, when inserting external shunt type attenuators: Why do the EVS or Endler attenuators typically use a much lower impedance attenuator?For example from the Endler... | |
| CD output voltage too high for preamp: what to do? I have similar problems: A tube preamp with 23 db gain, a fairly high output CDP with 2.3V, a very sensitive amp. Overall this results in about 10db too much gain. As for solutions:I also read about mixed results with the Rothwell attenuators and ... | |

| CD player around 1K Consider the new Rega Apollo as well. Many good comments out there. Otherwise it is the usual tube CDP contenders: Jolida JD100, Audio Aero Prima (more like $1500 though, but well worth it). Certainly a tube CDP should fit well with both your HT a... | |
| Please help.... Take a look www.fedex.com and calculate your shipping rates:Fedex does not take the V5H 2X6 zip code as valid. However, V5H 2X5 is a valid code and you might want to give that to the seller.Also, two more important point:- clarify, who will pay fo... | |
| Should a CDP be left on 24/7 or shut off & on? I left my original Rega planet on for most of the time - and I did notice a small difference after listenting to it for an hour or two after turn on. A good idea with the original planet is to have a CD loaded (not running), since then you can tur... | |
| tube into tube into mo'tubes I would say it depends on the particulars of the components you would like to put together; some match well, some don't; and that is true for tube or sand. System synergy is always important, but I don't think it is correct to generalize tube vs. ... |
