Ready to RUMBLE
I also own a P9 and a C2300. I have hardwood floors and a large KCS basshorn in my room. I had a rumble issue prior to installing a rega wall shelf. I previously had my P9 on a 3 inch maple slab with brass points on a Billy Bags stand. Now I do no... 
Reputable dealers?
I second David Lewis Audio located in Northeast Philly. Dave Serota is a great guy to deal with. The store is devoted to 2 channel only. Superb selection, great service, and no attitude. 
Hope this helps someone with RFI problems
Elseb: dedicated circuits would be a great addition. But it is cost prohibitive for me. I live in a stone home built in the early 1930's. Tearing into the walls and running new lines would be far more expensive then purchasing a power regenerator.... 
Phono stage picking up radio signals?
I had the same problem (do a search in Audiogon). I was able to stop the radio station by using shielded interconnects, ferrite clamps and switching phono stages. This was a very annoying problem for me and I was close to giving up on vinyl all to... 
Ear 834 P, ortofon kontrapunk A, Rega P9
Although I have no experience with the Kontrapunk A, I used a Dynavector 20x on my Rega P9/1000 with good results until I broke the stylus while trying to clean the table. If it is within you budget also think about the Shelter 501II, but the Dyna... 
Rega RB1000 and VTA Adjustment
Docsavage: Having too many hobbies leads to having to make life altering decisions. Should I buy the Shelter 90X cart or a Rizzini over/under 20 gauge or a bamboo rod or a Hardy reel or should I go to Montana to fish....At this point I need to hit... 
Rega RB1000 and VTA Adjustment
Docsavage: If you purchase the Schroeder tonearm, please make a posting about your findings. Never heard about an owner of a P9 changing out the tonearm. Van Den Hul's are incredible carts, if you have not already, you should get the april or may ... 
Rega RB1000 and VTA Adjustment
Theo: "Unfortunately some of us listen to the music with critical ears." Gee so sorry, I just listen. Thanks again Theo for reassuring me that this hobby is full of self-absorbed toolbags. I dont care if you bash my rig, but please dont flatter yo... 
Rega RB1000 and VTA Adjustment
G_m_c: Have you tried the XYZ cart on the Rega? What do you think of the Schroder as compared to the Rega Tonearm? I dont think I would ever get rid of my table and just plan to buy more carts but I am always interested in the differences between ... 
Rega RB1000 and VTA Adjustment
Thanks Raul. The more I think about it, the more I want to pull the trigger on the 90X. I cant imagine how much better it can possibly get, but I need to know. 
Can almost anyone learn to set up a Cartridge?
I second this question. I want to try other cartridges on my table but am afraid about mounting them myself. How hard is it really? What tools are required? 
Please Help My TT is acting like a tuner
I purchased the Klyne and the Oldies station went away. I still have a whooshing sound at extremely high volumes but I may be able to take take of that by tweeking the loading of the cart.I hate oldies. Made me crazy. I live in central Pennsylvani... 
Please Help Can't get rid of radio station.
The oldies station is BRUTAL. I am the guy that started the other thread. Please let me know if you live in central Pennsylvania.Anyway, I have the same cart as you. I discovered the problem for me and it was not the cart (for me), it was the phon... 
Please Help My TT is acting like a tuner
I was able to get the noise down considerably, but it is still present, thanks for your contributions. But I believe that the noise can be further reduced by acouple changes. I just purchased a Klyne System 6 phono stage. If the RF and noise still... 
Please Help My TT is acting like a tuner
S23chang:I will try what you have stated (I am not optimistic though). My dealer told me that a Van Der Hul high output cartridge would lessen the noise and sound better then my shelter cartridge. I am considering this. I have so much $$ invested ...
