Mod my Rega P5 OR...time to move on ??
Just an update here.I`ve added a Groovetracer Acrylic Platter with some very nice results, I like it much better than the glass/felt setup.I also have an SRM Silent Base on the way.BUT...Now I`m circling a brand new Rega RP10 with the Apheta 2 and... 
Reducing Background Noise On Records
 islandmandan and terry9 have it right. If you have a TT you`ll eventually/inevitably end up with an US cleaner....period Has anybody else noticed how many VPI RCMs seem to be popping up  on the 'bay ??Yeah...there`s a reason for that, so either b...

I agree...I would like my phono stage and cartridge to be able to shine their best ! Might look for a mint used Rega RP10

The Audiomods Series V is $1000 with the micrometer (not sure I need or even want that) and a few dollars less without.Maybe the Audiomods arm would be a nice match for my cartridge I don`t know. A Delrin platter for $350 can be added in for added...

"I put 3 Cardas blocks under my Rega which helped quite a bit. There is no need to "move on".   Lots of money with only a bit of additional performance."Did you use the Rega wall mount bracket ? I use one but it`s not on the wall. I have mine att...

Thanks Steve...I`ve had a few Rega`s now maybe I`ll look for a VPI even though I was thinking a used RP8 would be nice.I kind of like the skeletal look but I hate that the surround would just be sitting in the box, seems a waste to me.I would actu...

Never had a VPI but I`ll look into them a little closer.I actually had a Michell Gyrodec Bronze. I thought it sounded fine, it had an RB300 arm on it.I found the rotating gold weights distracting after a while...I know that might sound trivial but...

tablejockey: "IMO, you're  standing at the crossroads of the audio abyss"...Yep, been on this path for sometime now, I just haven`t changed components at a pace some do. Just looking to move up like most of us.Used for sure....What did you go to f...

E-Bay RETURNS, WHAT A BUCKET OF WORMS
Ebay is a buyers market with very little protection for sellers.Buyers remorse is no problem for a buyer...just come up with an excuse and the seller will have to accommodate so as to protect his rating.Here`s a good story if you like bad endings.... 
Thinking About Upgrading The Tonearm On My Rega P5...
 "The difference between an RB700 and an Audiomods Series IV is significant".  Thanks..curious as to how the IV stacks up against the V ?? I think the V uses the same arm tube as the RB2000, but then again, I`m also under the impression that ot... 
Thinking About Upgrading The Tonearm On My Rega P5...
I`ve read where the rb700 arm doesn`t need a rewire like the lower level arms do. I`ll leave it stock and maybe sell it along with the Grovetracer counter weight.ThanksSteve 
Class D Technology
I`m using a Herron tubed phono stage going into a Tortuga Audio LDR preamp coupled with a Class D Audio SDS 470 and it sounds pretty darn nice to me !  I am toying with the idea of adding a Rogue amp to the mix for a horizontal bi-amp deal, but I`...
