| Mat for Rega P10 @sokogear,Sorry I didn't see the 2nd page of this thread or I would have responded sooner. I bought my Teac mat off Amazon (Prime) so it was no cost to return. I was wondering how your Tru Lift could mount to the P8 but now you say they have a s... | |
| New Goats Head Soup I listened to the hirez stream on Qobuz and it sounds really good. I think I'm the 3rd person in this thread that has been impressed by the streaming SQ. I pulled out my album from my box set from 2016 and played it. The vinyl didn't sound as g... | |
| Rega Apheta 3 Capacitance 1000pF??? Based on my experience, I have to agree with yogiboy. I currently have a Rega P10/Apheta 3. Prior to this, I had the Rega RP10/Apheta 2 and Aria phono stage. I may be wrong but I think the Apheta 2 and 3 have the same specifications only the st... | |
| Mat for Rega P10 @sokogear, I'll take a look at the Tru Lift tonearm lifter. Thanks for the recommendation! I'm returning the Teac and Grungebuster mats.@arturgorniak, I recommend that you try Herbie's Way Excellent II mat (2mm thick). The SQ improvement over t... | |
| Mat for Rega P10 One more thing that I would like to add, the Herbie's website is a bit misleading in regards to their Grungebuster mat. Last week I called their office and spoke with Robert regarding my P10 with its white ceramic platter. He recommended the Way... | |
| Mat for Rega P10 Today I received the Herbie's Grungebuster mat. It's a no go. I think it may be the worst sounding of all mats that I own. It's significantly heavier than the Herbie's Way Excellent II mat. The Grungebuster seemed to suck the life out of the m... | |
| Mat for Rega P10 I received the Teac Washi mat yesterday. I took it for a spin and it sounds very good and no static cling. I think it provides equal but different sound compared to my leather mat. The leather mat is a bit warmer and rounder sounding where as the ... | |
| Rega Planar 10/Aria MC Phono Stage HUM I experienced no hum when I had the Aria and the RP10/Apheta 2 MC cartridge. Since then, I've upgraded my RP10 to the Planar 10 and Apheta 3 and I've upgraded the Aria to a Luxman EQ-500, again no hum. I think the Aria is a good value phono stage... | |
| Mat for Rega P10 @sokogear, yeah I'm aware that our platters are different, the Herbie's Way Excellent II mat should work well for you. I'm anxious to try different mats to see what works for my preferences. Is the Teac mat larger than a standard LP? You mentio... | |
| Mat for Rega P10 @arturgorniak , I actually ordered the Grungebuster as well, I'm also thinking about ordering a Stein Perfect Interface standard mat. Both Herbie's mats come with a 60 day full refund return policy so not much of a risk. | |
| Mat for Rega P10 My white leather mat that I bought on Amazon initially for my RP10 and later transferred to my P10 is 1.5mm thick (same as the P10 stock white mat). If the P8 stock felt mat is 2.0mm thick then it's different from the P10 stock mat. I think the ... | |
| Mat for Rega P10 I think the P10 stock white felt mat is 1.5mm thick. I measured it with a digital micrometer. The Teac is 1mm thick and the Herbie's Way Excellent II is 2mm thick (I ordered the thinnest one). I'll try to post my initial thoughts of the mats ne... | |
| Mat for Rega P10 Next Tuesday I'll be getting my Teac mat and a Herbie's Way Excellent II mat for my P10. I'm interested in reducing static but also I'm interested in finding the mat that sounds the best to my ears. I'll compare them to my leather mat that I lik... | |
| Mat for Rega P10 I just ordered a TEAC Washi turntable sheet for my P10. I've been using a white leather mat that sounds great but it lifts off the platter occasionally. I hope the Washi sheet solves the lifting off issue and sounds as good as my leather mat. I... | |
| Analogue question If your new location setup puts the components closer to your WIFI router or extender, your components may pick up the noise from it. This happened to me twice in both of my systems. Simply unplug or move your router/extender further away from y... |
