| 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 ... | |
| 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. |
