cartridge for WELL TEMPERED Amadeus
Try a Audio-Technica AT33PTG/II with 1 gram each fasteners. Love it on my RP6 with GT subplatter and Herbie Mat. You can get them directly from Japan on Amazon or I bought mine from 2juki like many others on this board. Either way, it is below $50... 
Best gently used setup for under $6k
Here is my source first, small room friendly version. A little unconventional as it comes from multiple sources, some not mainstream (save money / bang for the buck / was fun for me hunting for deals).$1500 - Rega RP6 w/ TTPSU$ 200 - Rega wall mou... 
variance of +/- 10 Hz with 1 kHz test tone
Noticeable difference on solo piano. After reading more, it sounds like there is some variance with belts and test numbers. So, finding a belt that produces the test tone most accurately is the right one for me. Just got my red belt in the mail. H... 
Any good FM tuners around for less than $200?
I like my Audio Refinement tuner. Have it on during the day for classical and NPR. All the AR gear sounds tube-like. There is a silver one for sale on this site. 
rega white belt vs black belt speed test poll
Yes, that is the only way this test works. You need a record with a 1000 Hz or 3150 Hz test tone playing with the iPhone test app running. 
Cat-O-meter
My cat always sits on my speakers or on my stereo cabinet when I am playing vinyl. I just got a tube amp upstairs and he sits on the speakers up there now also. When I have TV or CD on downstairs, he settles by the window. He likes the public radi... 
Quick poll: Rega RP6 or Marantz TT-15 ?
I love my RP6. I don't like Rega cartridges check my posts for more details. I don't like the Marantz look and I have not heard it. 
variance of +/- 10 Hz with 1 kHz test tone
Yes, nicely laid back with more definition between the notes plus a little more warmth. I guess Rega took the shortcut with the white belt upgrade, like other turntable manufacturers (pro-ject), thinking a faster running table sounds better. I dis... 
variance of +/- 10 Hz with 1 kHz test tone
Ok, did some more tests today. Found some more things about the iphone app and the differences between the Rega white and black belts.First, the iphone app. Sometimes if you let the test tone run out to the end of the record or lift the needle whi... 
variance of +/- 10 Hz with 1 kHz test tone
Some interesting reading here:http://www.vinylengine.com/turntable_forum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=65143I still think i will be sending back my TTPSU for verification of settings to spec... 
variance of +/- 10 Hz with 1 kHz test tone
Numbers are basically the same with the phone on the table. Lowpass filtered is:-0.11% / +0.03%Should I have the TTPSU checked by Rega as it is still under warranty? Or, could it be the test record?The GT Reference RP6 subplatter I am using came w...
