| Vinyl Accessories - Skip It or Buy It! mijostyn - I've always been told to keep the dustcover off while playing albums. As a matter of fact, the newer Rega P8 and P10 models can't play with the covers on. I noticed on my old P5, it sounded better with the dust cover removed while playi... | |
| Cartridge recommendations under $2500 I second the van den Hul MC ONE SPECIAL recommendation, although I don't know what "warmth" means. It is very detailed and accurate. It doesn't add or subtract much. Lousy albums sound lousy and great ones sound great. It's now distributed by VPI... | |
| Relative Spending on Turntables and Cartridges Percentages are meaningless. No one is talking about the phono stage. Critical part of the equation. Arm is most important. I had a P5 and upgraded the RB700 arm to the RB880 and was BLOWN AWAY. Then upgraded the table to the P8 which was nice, bu... | |

| Negotiate good price nobel100 - glad to see it's still there. Although I think the spelling is schmuck. Maybe just a dope. | |
| High end stereo preamps? Worth it? @itsjustme - no - I was talking about going straight from a phono stage to a power amp. Basically a one input preamp with that input being phono. Output to a power amp (not integrated). Same amount of cables as if the power amp was integrated, but... | |
| Negotiate good price noble100 - looks like they removed your earlier post. I liked that better :-) | |
| Phonostage recommendations under $3K Can a phono stage ever break if not dropped or otherwise abused? I doubt it, so whatever one you like best will deliver the best value if used. I was lucky to find a used Sutherland Insight for about 40% below retail. I then added the linear power... |
