| Do you listen mainly to Audiophile CDs and records? My "listening ears" are stuck hearing period only records-particularly R&R.Reissue R&R and those "audio presses" always have me going back to my sometimes stitch/tick ridden originals. Many seem to have punched up bass and sound like a CD.... | |
| Triode or Ultra-linear? Why? I find my lofi tubed system absolutely needs the UL/triode option. The majority of my listening is records, many are simply too "hot" when cranked ocaissionally in UL. Hearing a Les Paul or cymbals at near concert levels isn't the same when I hear... | |
| Speaker Placement - When it's perfect! I've been aware of it for years, and on page one it's already mentioned-the Cardas setuphttp://www.cardas.com/speaker_placement.phpFor my situation, it was the answer for wasted time fussing. Like everything, this too is a YMMV thing. Bass traps a... | |
| Triode or Ultra-linear? Why? lloydc-I heard the Mesa years ago, isn't there an option to run full pentode as well? From what I remember, the Mesa is a fine piece, just like their guitar amps. | |
| Triode or Ultra-linear? Why? For R&R, UL seems to be the preferred mode, since you want a little extra umph for the drum/bass. Typically any instrumental-R&R,Jazz, Classical I leave my PL in UL.Jazz vocal divas-Ella,Billie, Sarah..etc I prefer triode, which "pushes" ... | |
| Led Zeppelin II "all my best sounding Zep copies are early pressings and that includes the Classic 45s I own."whart-never heard the 45s. Being a Zep head, always wondered how it would compare to a clean RL, or,the other early presses? I find 45 reissues of other... | |
| Led Zeppelin II consider a period domestic press. The desired copy is the Robert Ludwig press.https://www.ebay.com/itm/LED-ZEPPELIN-II-LP-Robert-Bob-Ludwig-RL-hot-mix-master-US-Atlantic-VG/27289...Even with a few ticks and stitches, a period press usually gets my... | |
| Mod my Rega P5 OR...time to move on ?? slaw, the wall bracket you have there in your profile looks interesting. I hope your project was a success?Im fortunate the 100 year old wood planked floor of my place doesn't add the footfall dilemma. I find the low tech(and pricey) Mapleshade ph... | |
| Mod my Rega P5 OR...time to move on ?? I'm curious to see what the OP decides on, since my path was similar.I certainly miss the simplicity of the Rega philosophy-just put a record on and lower the arm.The difficult decision however, is where do you draw the line on tweaking$ and justi... | |
| Rega RP8 and alternatives in $3000-4000 range fabsound- this is as good as it gets for the price. With the money saved,its worth investing in a $1K+LOMC to go along with it.http://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649383010-new-in-box-vpi-classic-1-turntable-with-jmwclassic-1-to...There is a Prime ... | |

| Mod my Rega P5 OR...time to move on ?? I chose VPI, and have no regret. I equate the Classic as the Rega P5 within the line,regarding value. Currently, it may be the Prime. I see them listed at great prices, and it's a step up from the Classic. Mine is 5 years old and going strong.The ... | |
| Mod my Rega P5 OR...time to move on ?? Former P5 owner and long time record freak here. If you're simply into hearing your records at reasonable/affordable level you're fine.Upping your game in step with the rest of your system will make you aware what the P5 lacks, and would never h... | |

| No Output from left channel on Primaluna Dialogue HP whacky-the amp warms up normally, and my left channel was dead. There is a relay that switches "on" after warmup.Presumably connecting to speaker taps.Unless your tech savvy, it's something left to an expert.Mine fortunately was warrantied, I purc... |
