| Buying a new TT today Chakster is a tremendous hobbyist/tinkerer/researcher/turntable historian and quite knowledgeable about DD tables.As I've stated before, it is not about the technology, but the execution of the specific model. Whatever table you have, there is ALW... | |
| Buying a new TT today I have to respond to Chakster's question about belt wear/speed of table.There is an app (RPM) where you can test the rpms on your table. Mine is at 33.26 and 44.9 respectively, the slightly slower rotation due to the weight of my iPhone on the pla... | |
| Buying a new TT today Really weird - different Rega dealers have different list prices. From $6700-7700 for the P10, but $4395 for the P8....strange. Sound Organisation included. Rega is a strange company from a marketing/sales standpoint.If you are sold on the P10, $6... | |
| Don't like vinyl Not sure, maybe they are broken in after time?I can't say I think they sound better, but they sound the same to me. I have bought a few used ones and they don't sound as good as the ones I originally bought. I think most people in general do not t... | |
| Don't like vinyl Mobile Fidelity claimed their records sounded better the more they were played with the Japanese vinyl they used. I never noticed any degradation in almost 40 years. I take care of my records though, and store them perfectly vertically. No liquid ... | |
| Buying a new TT today Hey AJ, - personally, I would look at other cartridges. I know Rega is giving you a good deal by combining them, but look at it this way: does anyone ever buy a Rega cartridge for a non-Rega turntable? Probably not. How 'bout the arms? You bet - p... | |
| Buying a new TT today Wojo - there is no Rega merry go round. You must be thinking of Linn. Their LP12 has an option list like a Porsche. I've heard Rega is pretty clear- with each rung up the ladder you get a better arm (usually) a better power supply (usually) and be... | |
| Buying a new TT today AJ-you’re doing so many changes at once, it’s hard to determine what improves the sound.I’d be interested to hear (if you can break it out individually) if the P10 is worth the 80% increase over the P8. When I went to the P8 from the P5, I upgrad... | |
| Don't like vinyl If it works....depends on the table | |
| Buying a new TT today When I "upgraded" my Phase Linear 8000 (DD, made by Pioneer) around 20 years ago (the one with the linear tracking arm) because it broke, it was a revelation. I bought a $500 Music Hall turntable with the existing cartridge (I think it was a lower... | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? PDK is faster than stick and when there's traffic it's better. Bigger reason - once in a blue moon my wife has to drive my car and there's no way I'm teaching her how to drive a manual in a 911 and then burn out a clutch.I just sold my third car ... | |
| Don't like vinyl Then your vinyl set up needs to be better. Phono stage maybe? Better arm? Cartridge. Quantity doesn't equal quality. | |
| Buying a new TT today Upgraditis - I like it - never heard that before....very appropriate for this entire site. When your system is evenly matched and sounds great, enjoy it and spend your money on well pressed/mastered records. Music Direct and Acoustic Sounds are th... | |

| I'm here for the enthusiasts, not the snobbery Hilarious. I guess the $300 paint job was the deluxe package if he was painting cars for $50.I had paint come off when a car was hand washed. It was a large touch up. Paint was cracked. |
