| Rega Elys II cartridge: Is it worth the money?? The fact remains that practically all phono cartridges beyond the B.O.T.L units are grossly overpriced, making listening to Vinyl almost a rich man's hobby: assuming you must buy new. I avoid that like the plague. Occasionally I get burned, but at... | |
| Systemdek IIX possible upgrades help needed. In my experience, in terms of purchasing "tweaks", I found that a non-felt mat topped by a SOTA Acrylic Supermat gave an order of magnitude improvement over the felt: certainly in terms of detail and noise floor. I've not heard the Systemdek arm b... | |
| MC Pre-preamps Thanks gentlemen! For a moment there...so presumably, my old(25 odd years) Koetsu Black @ .4mV(from memory: no prob' on my then MF "The Preamp") might just work yes...Garrot Bros here I come:as soon as a "new stylus req'd" Black comes up on ebay! ... | |

| Review: Rega Elys Cartridge Ah the joys of audio;and once more a lesson in believing your own ears and not somebody elses - who should of course do likewise! I agree with everything written here except the conclusion; where I take the reverse tack for similar reasons that Ek... | |
| best MM cartridge... I've gone through SHURE, ORTOPHON,GOLDRING, A&R CAMBRIDGE, GRADO, SUMIKO and REGA MM cartridges. For my money the A&R P78/REGA Elys2 were/are the best of those - providing Stereo imaging is not important. But the last REGA price I saw was ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? When it comes down to it, the MM cartridge sounds more like the real thing on my records where I've both heard Artist(s) live, and have their records. Although the only MC I've had extensive experience with(early Koestu Black replacing an ASAK) so... | |
| How to best isolate TT from vibration? Funny, when I first got my 'DEK after hard times forced an LP12 sale, I auditioned a vacuum-hold SOTA in a direct comparison. The 'DEK made music, the SOTA didn't: 1st class HIFI though. I use a chipboard plate and blobs of Sorbothane in place of ... | |
| ISO headshell for Systemdek IIX / Profile tone arm JELCO of Japan made it. I upgraded to an(upgraded-sic) RB300 and it took a lot of work and change of cartridges to get any REAL improvement: the Profile Arm/Grado cartridges are a synergistic match IMO. As for the DEK...I once had a (NIRVANA/VALHA... | |

| MM to MC back to MM and back to MC! My saga began with(foolishly) "upgrading" from an A&R Cambridge P78(although I think it was the destruction of a 2nd Beryllium cantilever that...) to a Linn ASAK So I'd have THE then RIG:LP12/ITTOK/ASAK the rags were raving abo... | |
| Who is Michael Fremers' What's keeps me reading Analog Corner is that you do participate in the "community" of Audiophiliacs! As for the Stereophile "over-exposure" of Musical Fidelity, FINE by me! When I came to the States Anthony Michaelson personally put a US transfor... | |
| Phono Pre with volume control? 18 months ago I bought a Bellari VP129 on ebay for 80 bucks. After swapping the Sovtek 12AX7LPS for a Electro-Harmonix I was totally happy except for some prominent background noise when cranked. Then "Mikey" got a hold of it! Class B rating and p... |
