| Upgrading Turntables. Stick with Rega? Rega has it own sound so if you like it go with that. I own a P7 and I paid just a little over what you want to spend (it was a good deal) but the beauty of the P7 is there is nothing you really need to upgrade other than a spacer if you need them... | |
| Spin Clean fluid I had a spin clean and it did a job, but it was a pain. As mentioned, drying was an issue for me. I put the semi-wet records in a dish rack but it was on a low table near a carpet and the static that built up acted like a magnet with the carpet fi... | |
| suggestions for Windows 10 software please, , laptop to USB DAC, AIFF files, remote app I use JRiver and the free Gizmo app on my Android phone. Took me a minute or two to get the port forwarding to work. I did not see the need for spending money on the remote app. Plus Gizmo works well for my needs.Hopefully you have spent some time... | |
| Teo Game-Changer IC's - get on the bus! I am waiting for the bus, should be here next week some time. | |
| Whats your favorite MC Cart for Rock and Blues/under 1K Like @audiobunker my Benz Glider HO is my favorite. Well partly because this is the only HO MC I have had so I cannot compare it to anything else, therefore by default it wins. In my system and the sum of all parts, I tend to like how the lows to ... | |
| recommendations of phono preamps < $3000 range I started with a Jolida JD9 -> upgraded tubes to NOS Mullards, tube dampers, etc and it was well rounded, had some good flexibility with loading etc. However I wanted more articulation and got an Avid Pellar. Here I did find the articulation, v... | |
| Esoteric F-05 Integrated - any opinions? It would be interesting to hear your initial review. What did it replace? | |
| Rega Owners - Alignment Tool / Protractor @bradf I purchased mine from Analogue Seduction based in the UK. I also ordered the white belts as the P7 needs 2 of them. The Avid does not state what geometry they use specific to the Rega, however there are two printed sets of null points and m... | |
| Rega Owners - Alignment Tool / Protractor I have used the supplied cardboard one with my Rega P7 which is not very useful, then the Rega Baerwald Arc printed protractor which I felt was better than the first. Then I got the Avid HiFi Rega specific one. That is the one that made the bigg... | |
| Herron VTPH-2 @czbbcl Did you change the tubes because they needed changing or felt it really could be improved? | |
| Herron VTPH-2 @dodgealum thanks for the informative post. Overall I am happy with my system but I am looking to take the amplification up to another level to better compliment my speakers. Perhaps the VTSP-3A should be next...I see that you are using a Modwrigh... | |
| Aligning Cartridge Miner42 - I looked at Yip's MintLP because it had great reviews but in the end it came down to cost. I also got two of the infamous white belts as well. But I first set up the cartridge and listened for a day to hear if there were any differences.... | |
| Classe SSP600 Problems. Anyone Else with DSP prob? The same was repeated on CAM, why would you disparage someone who sold you a working item? It is unfortunate that your product cannot be fixed so I understand your disappointment but as you said Classe is willing to work with you on this. Plus you... | |
| Best Preamp under 10K I think things have changed since the thread was started in 1999...in today's dollar $10,000 would be $14,324.97. | |
| Another For Pass Labs, try Reno Hifi. THey have a 10 day home demo. Although I have not purchased from them they have been very responsive to my questions. |
