| Loss of Highs Thank you for the responses! Unfortunately, I do not know that age of the tubes. I purchased the unit from an authorized dealer as a demo unit. I would imagine the tubes are at least two to three years old. I just don't understand why changing the... | |
| P3-24 pitch instability Unfortunately, that wobble is common with the newer rega tables! Last year I bought a P5 and noticed the wobble. I took my table back to the shop where they contacted Rega, and Rega sent my shop a new motor and pulley. Same wobble with the new mot... | |
| Best Record Store In New York Thanks for all the info! All of the places above look great! I will be in New York for a few days, so I should be able to visit most of these shops! Thanks again for all the recommendations! | |
| Best Record Store In New York Thank you for the responses! I will be sure to check out the Record stores mentioned above. I am primarily looking for a store that has a really good vinyl section. Does Academy Records have any Jazz, or is it all Classical as mentioned above. I l... | |
| Benz Micro Silver MC versus Dynavector and Sumiko My friend has a Benz Micro silver on his Thorens 145 MKII and it sounds really good! I have compared it back to back with my Rega P5 and Glider SL, and they both sound great! The Glider has a bit more warmth and air to it, but I think you will lik... | |
| low riding Benz Micro Gold I have had two Benz Glider SL's and they both ride very low! I am sure your cartridge is fine! | |
| Phonostage Question I recently purchased the Aesthetix Rhea and love it to death. I have tried BAT, ARC, Rogue Audio, REGA, Pro-Ject Audio and by far the Aesthetix Rhea offered the best overall sound quality and the most options in terms of flexibility. The Rhea allo... | |
| Cartridge for a Rega P5? I have a P5 with the new Glider SL, and it sounds beautiful! The Rega Exact cartridge is very good, but IMO it's lacks the speed and highs of the Glider! Just my two cents! Just make sure that what ever cartridge you purchase it complimenst your p... | |
| What cartridge for Rega P5? I have a P5 with the TT-PSU and am using a Benz Micro Glider SL and love the combo. However, before upgrading to the Benz I was using a Rega Exact 2. I must say that for the money the Exact 2 is a good cartridge, but I think you can do better with... | |
| Cleaning solution Disc Doctor Miracle Wash in addition to the steam method that is mentioned in the previous threads. This method has given me fantastic results with both new and used LP's! I also use the VPI 16.5. | |
| LAST record preservative Thank you for your responses. I really appreciate all the great information and advice from you all. I am new to vinyl, so all of your experience really helps! Some of you have mentioned that by applying LAST preservative, there is a reduction in ... | |
| LAST record preservative Mofimadness, I have LAST stylast treatment. I will give it a try with the few LP's I treated with the LAST preservative. Hopefully, that does the trick. I am new to vinyl and have read so many good and bad things about LAST products. I am just ver... | |
| LAST record preservative Mofimadness, have you listened to your LP's before and after the treatment of LAST preservative? I clean my new and used LP's with Disc Doctor Miracle cleaner on my VPI 16.5 and then let then dry. I will listen to the whole LP. After I have listen... | |
| Rega Drive Pulley Issue Got my table back a few days ago with the new motor & pulley, and all is well! I wouldn't say the pulley is 100% perfect, but it is 95% better than it was. You have to look really hard to see the slightest imperfection. | |
| Rega Drive Pulley Issue My dealer contacted Rega about the wobble in my drive pulley, and Rega agreed to replace the whole motor and pulley unit! They said there should not be any wobble in the pulley! Although, I looked at the stores demo table and could see a slight am... |
