| Direct Drive If the TTPSU sounded the same with and without then it was probably spinning at the correct speed. If it broke (can't see how that could happen since it is a box with no moving parts, but maybe something internal failed?),Rega would replace it. Yo... | |
| Phono Preamplifier Redux .. Damn This is Getting Expensive +1 Townshend. I have they seismic platform under my table.Make sure to get the right tension podiums for the weight of your turntable. They need to compress somewhere midway between all the way down and not compressed at all. The difference in cl... | |
| Recommendations please! You didn't mention what kind of amp you use. Have you considered an integrated amp? Sometimes they are a much better value. I was in your exact shoes 15 or so years ago and was looking to replace my preamp which sounded fine, but had not remote. ... | |
| Direct Drive Did you have the TT-PSU with the Rega P5? It was an option on that model (great one - I used to own, discontinued a while back) that should eliminate any speed variations that are noticeable to the human ear. The PSU is standard on the P6 on up I ... | |
| Looking for good recordings of female vocals I have not yet tried... Can't believe nobody mentioned the Welsh witch, Stevie Nicks...with or without Fleetwood Mac. | |
| MoFi controversy You have got to be kidding me. I own dozens of Original Master Recordings from Mofi including a couple of One Steps, and would be upset if a ridiculous lawsuit caused them to go bankrupt. Whoever is suing them must not be a music lover, because it... | |

| Solid state or Tubes preamp phono stage. Have you thought of a Sutherland solid state PS? Extremely low noise floor and it will let the cartridge do the talking. As mijostyn said, tubes are a PITA and IMHO for the equipment hobbyist (whether or not they are really into the music). Plus ... | |
| Your thoughts on selling If you have any valuable records worth over $25, I would sell them myself, so long as you know they are in excellent condition. That way you can be sure the buyer will not complain, or if they do, you have a leg to stand on. For the bulk of the r... | |
| MoFi controversy @dconsmack - MoFi corrected the mistake that some have taken issue with. I didn't care. I want the best sounding record possible. Your organic produce argument doesn't hold weight - there are no health benefits to pure analogue. Not sure why yo... | |
| MoFi controversy To set up an equal quality DAC, streamer, transport, etc. costs more than an equivalent quality sounding vinyl rig. Plus add in some subscription fees and the inconsistency of your ISP and it's not as cut and dry as you think @alexberger If you ... | |
| MoFi controversy @dconsmack - I hope there are lots of people like you out there. It will keep the prices of the used UD 1steps down and keep the scalpers who don't ever play them away. Please continue cutting off your nose to spite your face. | |
| MoFi controversy Sorry about the above sloppy post and duplications. It is impossible to figure out how to embed links and then continue to add text at various places. | |
