| Rega Apheta 3 Capacitance 1000pF??? atmasphere 1000pF is their spec. You can see it at the specs for their cartridges and their phono stages. The phonos even are switchable to higher capacitances. Cited often in reviews of their phono gear. | |
| Rega Apheta 3 Capacitance 1000pF??? smatsui thanks for your input. That's great to hear. Keith Herron is building me a VTPH-2A and I'm greatly looking forward to getting the unit hooked up to my gear. I was a bit mistaken when I first posted: I believe with his loading plugs he c... | |
| Ever Bought an Audio Product that was Stupid Good for the Money? Sjofn HiFi The Clue speakers. Except for a very persnickety Stereophile reviewer, these were resoundingly praised all around the internet. $1k/pair. At RMAF they used to be hooked up to a Hegel H70, Hegel DAC and I think it was a low-fi Onkyo C... | |

| Sam here and this goes much deeper than i ever thought. Silver netting over your bed at night. It's the only respite from the waves. | |

| Rega Planar 10/Aria MC Phono Stage HUM Yah, I strayed from this forum and read an article from which I took that "stray capacitance" was an issue. I now understand better that EMF from the Hegel's transformer is the problem. The P10's RCA out would need a short extender to get the Ar... | |
| Rega Planar 10/Aria MC Phono Stage HUM Interesting update: to further the notion that the Aria's hum is an issue of stray capacitance from my Hegel integrated and not a grounding issue, I took a longer set of RCAs (not high quality), and put the Aria on the floor blow my rack, maybe an... | |
| Rega Planar 10/Aria MC Phono Stage HUM Yah, I'm going to try the cheater plug and call it a day. The return box is on deck and ready to shout it out. I've seen that the Parasound JC3+ (a bit more) and Jr (similar price to Aria) are well thought of phono stages. Any other SS phonos I... | |
| Rega Planar 10/Aria MC Phono Stage HUM Not ERS. "Faraday": EMF, EMI, RF blocking fabric. OK, cheater plug next.Any love for Aria RCA out/Hegel XLR input balanced cables? | |
| Rega Planar 10/Aria MC Phono Stage HUM OK. Aria wrapped in isolating cloth - no change in hum. Switching Aria and integrated positions - no change in hum (Aria originally two shelves below, I switched them (and all cable routing) and them switched them back (and all cable routing)). ... | |
| Rega Planar 10/Aria MC Phono Stage HUM The isolating fabric came a short while ago and when I have a few extra minutes I'll wrap the Aria and see what happens. Then I'll wrap the Hegel. Then I'll do a little jig... | |
| Rega Planar 10/Aria MC Phono Stage HUM lewm that was smatsui a different poster. Last TT setup I had was a VPI and Audible Illusions back in the ealry 2000s. | |
| Rega Planar 10/Aria MC Phono Stage HUM By the way, there is a "grounding post" on the back of the Aria. Is this just there if the Aria is used with a different TT to prevent a ground loop, or can this post be used to help ground the Aria itself? |
