| 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... | |

| 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... | |

Sticks may be more fun and engaging, but there is enough steering, braking and accelerating to worry about at those speeds to separate their driving skill from the next guy. | |

| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? warm counterweight is perfect | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? Dust cover is off when record is playing. Check out my table-Rega P8. Roy Gandy designed it after a cost no object limited edition, Naiad (might be misspelled). They only made a handful, sold to people who knew Roy so they wouldn’t be glommed up b... | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? Engine as close to the middle of the car as possible. Center weight = well balanced=better handling. Not in the front. Weight over the power wheels.As far as the tonearm counterweight, maybe it helps with some mismatched arm/table combos, but if ... | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? I disagree Geoff. I learn new things all the time as I read about them. Many things are not of benefit to me. Some are. I try to get a lot of people's perspectives, which is part of why I like Audiogon's discussions. If you don't overthink it, and... |
