| RB300 tonearm cable upgrade? There is a DIN available from Galen Carol Audio that must be soldered in place at the base of the arm post. It goes on all rega arms, but you have to cut and solder. DIN is made by Cardas. Will fit your RB300 as well as Nrchy's RB900. Repeat: you ... | |
| RB300 tonearm cable upgrade? Also, I might add that setting the tracking force to 3 grams(which is the factory setting for bypassing the tracking force adjuster), and using a scale to set your VTF, by moving the counterweight, will give better sound. This is because in the Re... | |
| Lowther Voigt Pipes are up and running Just for an update, the pipes are breaking-in very nicely. Getting even smoother, and more dynamic. The ability to play louder and cleaner than my last speakers has led me to want to push my little amp past its limits, because I just want more and... | |
| RB300 tonearm cable upgrade? I 2nd the Incognito wire above. Also, Galen Carol audio has Origin Live wiring mods, including a Cardas DIN connector which fits into the bottom of the arm post. He also has on a special sale, the Audience phono cable with DIN plug to fit. He can ... | |
| First Sound preamps....feedback please. I think that First Sound has battery powered preamps. My feeling is that battery is the way to go. I use battery on my (low)power amp, and my turntable. Working on modding the pre for battery power. With all the problems associated with the street... | |

| Teres Turntable / Portland Congratulations on getting a very nice analog rig. You will enjoy it immensely. I can't give you any insight on a comparison between Teres and Basis, because I have not done any A/B comparisons with them. Regardless, you can be assured that you ha... | |
| Is it possible for something to be the best? To add to my above post, I do feel that there are absolute bests, but the parameters for judgement must be set. And as Albert points out, not all will agree. As an aside, were the impressionists experimenting with an early form of digital represen... | |
| Violin Concertos If you don't mind, I'd like to recommend another composer. I think that the Khachaturian Violin Concerto with Henryk Szering in violin, on Mercury Living Presence, is the best violin concerto I've ever heard. The gypsy flavor and emotional impact ... | |
| How have your tastes changed? I first woke up to music with "She Loves You" by the Beatles. Greatly enjoyed lots of the '60s rock bands and some of the '70s till about '78. Rock kind of left us at that point, and I switched to Fusion, kindled by the later Jeff Beck albums. Wen... | |
| Songs that you just have to sing Albert, I didn't know you were a Devo fan. | |
| If you had to completely replace your collection.. The first one I'd get would be the soundtrack from "Natural Born Killers" to get me tuned up for hunting down the culprit that had the VERY bad judgment to steal from me. Up here in the woods of Tennessee, we still do things the old fashioned way.... | |
| 3-way under 1000 new. Buy a pair of Lowther DX3 for $795, build a simple cabinet, and you will never think about 3-ways again. You will have a brand new set of speakers that work wonderfully with tubes, costs well under $1000, and has sound that makes ANY $1000 3-way s... | |
| Fatigue Subjective??? I'm not sure I have a real handle on this "fatigue" thing. Just what is it that fatigues you? I had Naim gear for 10 years and it never fatigued me. Perhaps the Naim has more detail and musical involvement, causing you to have to concentrate on mo... | |
| Is it possible for something to be the best? Okay, if you want to pin it down hard, the "best" is to be defined by a set of parameters. The term "best" only applies when there are parameters set. If the parameters are measurable, then a given item that measures best could be called "best". I... |
