Acoustic resonators in place of room treatment
We are not only paying for the material but the patent considering the work and effort that have been put into the design of these wonderful little tweaks. Don't be surprised if the total cost of material and/or parts is significantly less than ha... 
Rega P5 owners
Hi Nolitan,I didn't have any spacers with the cartridge and everything is stock on the RB700 arm including the counterweight. Everything works out fine. I have no experience with Dynavectors. Good to know you are also using the SHL5s. The strength... 
Rega P5 owners
I'm using Denon DL-103 MC cartridge with the P5. Sounds pretty darn good. I would equally be interested to know if there are other cartridges that would bring noticeable improvements compared to the Denon DL-103. 
Can You Live With Crackling & Popping Noise?
It turned out that one of the record was dirtier(or more ruined) than I thought as it exhibited more pops and crackles than the rest. Everytime I got up and changed side the stylus had dust on it in the form of tiny strands of wool of some sort, a... 
Can You Live With Crackling & Popping Noise?
Thank you for all responses. In my case I don't think the noise is due to out of alignment cartridge or excessively-loaded capacitance although it might be a possibility. I highly suspect it is due to dirty records as I can see dust all over the s... 
Rega Elicit Break-In
The Elicit currently has about 50-60 hours on it as it continues to amaze me with erratic sound changes for the past few days. I believe the unit is still in the break-in process judging from the manner the transformation in sound has taken place.... 
Rega TT PSU..... one or two buttons ?
Thanks for the response Miner42. Your response has somehow increased my chances of ending up with the P5 although the P3-24 with TT PSU was initially in my shortlist. 
Rega P5 owners
I have heard that a Rega P3-24 with TT PSU will sound almost similar to the basic P5. Is this true? I do know that the P5 with TT PSU will outperform the P3-24 with TT PSU. I am considering between the P3-24 with TT PSU and the basic P5 and would ... 
Rega TT PSU..... one or two buttons ?
Cjnolan, I am having a tough time deciding between the basic P3-24 and one with the TT PSU and would appreciate if you can briefly describe what sort of differences have you heard. I don't mind if the improvements were subtle as long as they are n... 
Pat Metheny Fans, Great Suggestions Please ??
I would appreciate some advice. I need to know whether the LP version of Pat Metheny's music would be an improvement to the CD version in the ECM era. I am particularly interested in Secret Story, We Live Here and Offramp. If yes, I would be getti... 
Proac D Two & LFD LE III
No disrespect to Naim owners. I once considered the Naim Supernait at one point and contacted a guy who is selling a used unit who coincidentally also has the LFD LE III for sale. He mentioned the LFD is overall more musical with better vocals tha... 
Atoll v McIntosh v Musical Fidelity v Rega
Of all the amps listed above I have only listened to the Rega Elicit. This is certainly a very musical amp with excellent PRAT and macrodynamics. Timbre, tonality and harmonics are pretty spot-on. The unit is quite substantially built and comes wi... 
Any U2 Fans Here?
Does the 7" vinyl version of this album sound better than the CD? I may be getting my first turntable if the record sounds substantially better than the compressed version of the CD. Thanks in advance. 
New Rega Elicit Integrated - Opinions
Thanks for the response. I do know amps sound better when left powered up for a little while. I have never switched off my Plinius amp and leave it on 24 hours a day 7 days a week. That was when I figured out the Plinius needed to be powered up fo... 
New Rega Elicit Integrated - Opinions
Thanks for the response Filmoor. Looks like I can forget about drastic sonic changes now since you mentioned the Elicit sounded great cold right out of the box. I did perceive a smooth transition in the 10th hour or so as everything started to com...
