| Is Rega the easiest turntable to set up.... The OP can probably see there are many ways to approach his desired outcome. "I’ve pretty much eliminated the P6 but am also looking at a MOFI" Even the highest level Rega, it still is a polarizing brand. Having demoed the Mofi Ultradeck in my ... | |
| Is Rega the easiest turntable to set up.... I'd put a max offer on this https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis98a9c-rega-p3-current-unit-audiophile-turntable-turntables P8 is the next "best" choice. | |
| From Sonus Faber Extrema to... "They sound lovely paired with my Conrad Johnson MV125 or with the couple of Accuphase P360 amps I own, bridged to monos (actually I think the CJ is a far better match). " Based on your own comments, you're just showing signs of "audiophool upgr... | |
| Pop album that has stood the test of time I despised 80's/90's pop/"modern rock"at the time, but Sinead's debut "The Lion and the Cobra" is now equally listenabale. Her LP's are now found in the 3 for $10 bins in great condition. Add any of the 4 Smith's. Stray Cats debut. | |
| Questioning Interest In MoFi Speakers Audio gear is just another consumer item. Initial buzz is done, inventories probably high. Great time to buy. Wait a little longer for the floorstander being discounted. Elac Adante was blown out at great prices- you just needed the room for t... | |
| Has anyone had success with a preamp with a Marantz PM 8006? "Garrard 301 (Oil bearing) turntable with an SME 3009 non improved arm with a Ortofon 2m Brown Cartridge." Spend more money and get a "better" main amp and phonostage. The table setup warrants a substantial amplification upgrade. | |
| Has anyone had success with a preamp with a Marantz PM 8006? "I listen to primarily Vinyl and I was wondering if anyone uses a phono preamp. Just curious to see if anyone has had any success. " It appears the OP is masking if an outboard phonostage is "better" than his built-in. The answer is for his par... | |
| "New" model VPI? A formal website/magazine review is probably still months away, but so far, the press releases suggest no amazing/unique features. I'll be looking forward to a Stereophile/AS review. | |
| REL Classic 99 Sub Your existing REL's on paper are superior compared to the more aesthetically pleasing 99's. It will be interesting to read your impressions. Paper specs on some levels are meaningless once you're actually in the listening environment, playing mus... | |
| Looking for more advice on purchasing a new turntable. Whatever you end up with, your supporting setup will make it shine. I have a similar setup-PL amp/phonostage and ML’s. Used can get more for your money. Based on some of the brands suggested: Rega-I would stay with P8/ or10 with Rega cartridge... | |
| "New" model VPI? "Pure Fidelity turntables which I prefer over the VPI I had" Blisshifi, PF appear to be a notch above VPI in build. Never heard the brand, but all the reviews suggest you get what you pay for. "It’s a modern day HW-19 with updated technology" m... | |
| suggestions for new phono stage Zyx airy-.24mv.? Primaluma 60db may not enough gain since you have on intgd amp? You possibly would be cranking volume without the expected performance due not enough-65+ Probably would still sound okay, but not optimal? Used step up-$2-300 | |
| suggestions for new phono stage https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisbbf1d-primaluna-evo-100-tube-phono-preamplifier-phono Good price, good reviews. Been using mine for a year. Found one for a little less. Probably negotiable. For the price, it will do what a $5k+ tube unit... | |
| Suggestions for phono preamp for LOMC's "I have about $10k invested in my table/arm" That suggests you might use a cart around $5K or so? $2500 retail may not show such a cart in it's best light? That amount + a few more bucks in a USED $5k +retail unit could do so. https://www.audi... | |
