| Woofer sucking in and out Of course it doesn't have to be done but very often and more often than not it is. It's a common practice that has been around since the dawn of stereo - do a search for "LP mastering 150hz mono" and you'll have enough to read for quite some time ... | |
| Woofer sucking in and out The KAB unit does NOT effect phase. Period. Call Kevin at KAB he will be happy to verify and explain this, but here's technical info from his site:"1. When records are made, frequencies below about 150Hz are combined to mono. This is done to avoid... | |
| Woofer sucking in and out I can not recommend the KAB unit highly enough. I would not have a vinly based system (the only way I really listen to music...) without one. It's sonically transparent and, in fact, will tighten the bass up a good bit since your amp is having to ... | |
| Rega P25 w/orig Exact Cart - good? + mV question $700 seems fair IF it's in pristine condition. They sell here for around that in 9/10 shape. I would pretend the cartridge isn't included, honestly - you have no idea if it's even viable - I would budget for a new one.Truth be told, I would budget... | |
| American made cartridge anyone? I'm pretty sure none of my gear or any other imported item I own is "slave built", Inna! | |
| Rega P3/24 Power Supply Connection Issues Are you talking about the standard wall-wart power supply or the TTPSU upgraded outboard power supply?If it's the TTPSU - the cable on it actually has a spring clip mechanism that FIRMLY connects it to the turntable. Always take the platter off th... | |
| Benz Ace S H or Dyna DV-20x2H Indeed. I ran the microline version of the the 20xL for a number of years. | |
| Benz Ace S H or Dyna DV-20x2H A couple of months. It got me off a long run of MM carts. | |
| Benz Ace S H or Dyna DV-20x2H The newest "S" version of the Ace is a stellar tracker. I had the original version years ago and got rid of it due to its less than ideal tracking ability. Nothing drives me nuts more than mis-tracking and inner groove distortion. If I get a hint ... | |
| Phonomena, vs PS GCPH, Others? As always. It's about synergy. One mans giant slayer is another mans piece of $#!+. I like both the Phenomena and the GCPH but prefer the GCPH in my system. I will admit "world class" is overstating anything in this price point I guess. | |
| Phonomena, vs PS GCPH, Others? The GCPH, stock, is a great piece of gear and worth much more than its cost in my opinion - especially if you can find one used. You can always have it upgraded in the future.I'm sure if I heard a mod'd version I would think differently, but, I've... | |
| Creek Destiny or Rogue Cronus Magnum? I hate it when people do this.... but I'm going to do it anyway!I've owned the Cronus and have to tell you, a Cayin A70T or A88T is far superior and can be had for similar money. I auditioned a slew of ~$2k integrated amps and the A70T is in a dif... | |
| AT440mla, ortofon 2m red, or JICO SAS tip for mx97 I'm so happy for you, Ben. (... told ya you would love it!)Have a great holiday spinning records! | |
| Rega P9 Feet on a P3-24 I've got them on my P3-24. They look nice, can't say much else about them other than that!It's the same exact foot that's on your table now, just flipped upside down and placed in an aluminum cup. | |
| AT440mla, ortofon 2m red, or JICO SAS tip for mx97 Interesting. In that thread you even go so far as point out that, "71.4% is not 'near 80%'"; yet seemingly 71.4% is now 50%!I have no problem with you not liking the stylus. I understand how some might prefer the smoother more laid back nature of ... |
