| New speakers dilemma for vinyls... Heeelp! :))) Ciao @adversam, as mapman said they're a fairly easy load on the amplifier; also they're nominally 6 ohm, my 37 year old model is less efficient then the current models but they do like high current amps.I'm using a Nakamichi PA-7A amp (225 watts ... | |
| New speakers dilemma for vinyls... Heeelp! :))) @adversam, Reality is that it's hard to audition speakers in a showroom and extrapolate from that experience what they will sound like in your listening room. Even more so 'se ti piace basso profondo'.So do your research carefully for that big ro... | |
| Rega Planar 3: Is the Exact a significant upgrade from the Elys 2? At the end of April I bought a new Planar 3 and Ania cart. The combo is a good match, however it's not any better than my Heybrook TT2 w/OC-9ML so I sold it. The Ania performed exceptionally well on classical music but do I think it's worth the C... | |

| Cartridges for Rega Tables The Regas are 14 mm body height and I have no idea what they measure to the stylus tip but I imagine they would come in at + 1 or 2 mm more. | |
| Cartridges for Rega Tables LOMC Dynavectors appear to be between 15.9 mm and 18.1 mm in height depending on the model. | |
| Cartridges for Rega Tables The Hana EH, EL SH, SL are all 15 mm high so they probably would not require shims on the Rega; of course, no 3 point mounting system and keep in mind that the L models require 400+ ohm loading. | |
| Are the new Ohm Walsh speakers Audiophile quality? I've been consulting with John Strohbeen since the late 80's regarding my Walsh 4's. One thing I love about the man is his direct answers to direct questions; no hesitation, no BS, just a straight answer. Here's a sample of some of his answers ov... | |
| Don't get it, why anyone would ask others "what sounds best"? Very dangerous question... 'what sound best'.My 75 year old sister in law has been listening to AM radio since she was born and to her that is the benchmark of sound. Anything over 5 kHz is verboten.Oh yes, she prefers the bass turned up quite a ... | |
| What’s a mistake you made by being impulsive? In mid April I purchased a Rega Planar 3 w/Ania MC cart to replace my Heybrook TT2/LVX/OC-9ML combo. While I was breaking in the Rega I serviced the Heybrook myself in order to sell it. After setting everything back to spec I had a listen and gu... | |
| How many vinyl albums do you own you listen to? I've got 450 albums dating from the late 60's to current. About 50 are 180 gr quality some of those shine and some don't. | |
| Looking for a turntable around $1k... I will be picking up my Planar 3 with 4 mm of spacers for my OC-9 ML this week. Been researching new TT's for months, IMO it's the best combination of table and arm in that price range but if you like switching carts on a regular basis it's not ... | |
| What do you have on order RIGHT NOW. Steve Wilson vinyl re-master of Jethro Tull - "Songs From the Wood", coming for the UK I have the original LP (Crystalis). Yup, it needs remastering. | |
| VINYL SUCKS! Thanks @yogiboy... I just cancelled my Rega Planar 3 purchase....NOT! | |
| Who else is using old cables/interconnects, and is happy? Mine are so old they're called patch cords and zip cords. |
