| MoFi controversy The arm (RB880) is incredible. The table itself has some incremental upgrades from my old P5 also. Its my biggest investment, but worth it to me. | |
| Direct Drive I thought he (@mijostyn) said he liked Thorens’ 1600 BD over anything within twice it’s price. | |
| MoFi controversy Would you rather have bad sounding AAAA stuff? I buy it because it sounds good. They have since expanded on their explanation and describe what size and speed tape they use and the size of the data files. If that reduces their demand, all the bett... | |
| Direct Drive @lewm - I thought that @mijostyn was a SOTA guy. I agree with you on wall shelves for tables - especially lightweight ones like Rega for guys like me with suspended wood floors. I have mine sitting on top of a Townshend platform that sits on the s... | |
| MoFi controversy @grislybutter - they're not $10 records you're comparing them to. They're $20-$25 records if new. If they are 45's they are more. The One Steps are mainly 45's and they are $125. The 33s are $100. Compare apples to apples.... I avoid used records... | |
| MoFi controversy @grislybutter - the comparison should be the price of the audiophile records versus regular NEW records. Typical records, sometimes 180g these days, go for $20-$25. Audiophile pressings are around $35-$40. 45's usually up the price by $20 or so. A... | |
| MoFi controversy Hey @grislybutter - if you really want to blow your mind, check out Better Records. They recently had a copy of Aja listed for $899! It’s been well cleaned though…. i have a couple of the One Steps, and they sound amazing. I only got them because... | |
| MoFi controversy @mahler123 - please don't lump me in with the religious vinyl fanatics out there. If there is anyone who thinks it is impossible for some form of digital audio to sound better on some albums (or at least as good as vinyl), they are nuts. Especiall... | |
| Direct Drive @goofyfoot - don't know anything about the 78 table. I think there are some tables out there that offer that speed, just like being able to switch to 45. Yes, the RB3000 is almost double the price of the RB880 - that's why I was told to stick wit... | |
| Direct Drive I’ve used a van den Hul MC one Special with excellent results for about 10 years. Great stylus life and detailed dynamic SQ. | |
| Direct Drive I believe lighter cartridges are better for Rega tables. | |
| Direct Drive I agree with @dover - when I had my P5, I first upgraded the arm from the RB700 to the one on the P8 - the RB880 (it wasn't available by itself, but my dealer took one off the new P8 for me and sold that table to someone else who wanted the new P8... | |
| Direct Drive @dover - there is no P9. @goofyfoot - Rega owners get the tonearm as part of the turntable. Also, Live Origin seems to have very few dealers in the US, and I would want support in the installation and an assurance of compatibility if I were to ge... | |
| Direct Drive They also have a different PSU for the P10. maybe because it has a different platter and beefier bearing. | |
| Direct Drive @mahler123 - wow - what a bad experience. I don't blame you for bad mouthing Rega. I would too. Maybe it was a problem with the US distributor because now (for as long as I can remember) they warranty the products for life (except for accidental ... |
