| Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other Turntables are not better for any type of music. Turntables are supposed to be "dead" and let the cartridge do the work along with the phono stage. Same as the tonearm. It should be properly isolated if the table doesn't provide sufficient isolati... | |
| One of the great things about Vinyl So leave it off! | |
| Goodbye Everyone Cables (and their length), power conditioners, FUSES, SCHUMANN RESONATORS, capacitor swaps, crossover swaps/rebuilds, HFT OILS (or whatever that liquid magic you rub on your connectors), cable elevators or keeping them off the ground in some fashi... | |
| Goodbye Everyone Anyone know whatever happened to @mahgister? | |

| un-becoming an audiophile Get past the label of Audiophile? Not on their site. | |
| Mat for Rega P10 I didn't realize the P10 has a different mat than the P8. Maybe the P10 platter is thicker. I got the P8 close to when it first came out and the P10 was still a confirmed rumor (so I never saw one) with no release date in sight. Rega sells other c... | |
| Mat for Rega P10 Wow - they went up a lot! I paid under $300 (they had a 10% discount in an accessory sale when I bought it.) Maybe the P10 has a different mat height, but mine is 2mm, and a 1 mm difference is not a big deal since record thicknesses can vary by mo... | |
| Mat for Rega P10 @smatsui - just thought you might like it better and give it a shot. Herbie’s ended up being my 2nd choice and I did have it for a while. | |
| Mat for Rega P10 @smatsui - you should give the Hexmat (either Yellowbird or Eclipse) a shot. If Music Direct has them, you can return it if you dont like it no questions asked. For what you’ve invested in the P10, its seemingly high price is tiny if you think it ... | |
| un-becoming an audiophile @mahgister has better English skills….probably a disciple or chief lieutenant. Mahgister’s wad $500 total, which he mentioned thousands of times. Both in Canada though. | |
| Mat for Rega P10 Not sure if I told about my "final" mat choice which I got I think in the beginning of 2022 (Covid put things in a time warp) after it was highly recommended by a fellow 'Goner on any different discussions over the past 1 1/2 + years. It is made ... | |
| un-becoming an audiophile There are certainly more than the two extreme types @grislybutter refers to. I think a larger (probably the largest) group are people looking to get the most bang for the audio buck somewhere in between the cost no object @mikelavignes of the worl... | |
| Describe the "new HiFi sound"? Who talks about Elton John as a pianist? He is a piano player who early on wrote many great songs (the music only). it was rumored he only played 4 chords, although I doubt that. Billy Joel is a better musician than Elton and he wrote music and l... | |
| un-becoming an audiophile When I started buying decent/better equipment in college I spent a WAY higher percentage of what I had on it and records than I do today. The equipment especially bordered on obsession, constantly swapping equipment. Looking back, much more than I... |
