Help me improve Rega P2
Trust your ears and instinct, JMG 1949. They are telling you that back then, you were listening to a better turntable. An Ariston RD-11s is a better source than aRega P2. This is true anyday of the week. So naturally,even though you cannot pinpoin... 
Linn Basik LVX vs. Rega RB 303
I recently replaced the AR/Jelco LVX arm on my AR ES-1 turntable with a stock Rega RB300. My AR arm is equipped with a Music Metre tonearm cable. The stock Rega arm does not have the soaring highs I got with the AR/Jelco LVX; but in every other ar... 
To Tube or not to Tube......
All I can say is, Curiosity killed THIS Cat. I was pretty much like you. I had an older Audio Research D120 ss amp that was recommended to me by a dealer (thanks Tim!) over newer and more expensive ARC products. With this amp hooked up to my Berni... 
Rega Arm mods-is it really woth t it?
LOL! Chayro, there is so much written about mods for Rega tonearms that it almost seems as if this is an absolute requirement for these arms; hence my initial inquiry about doing this. I dissagree about waiting a year to get grip of the sonic sign... 
Rega Arm mods-is it really woth t it?
Ok, I guess I should give it more time as I have only had the thing for two weeks. I will try out a different counterweight and start looking at a cartridge upgrade. Somebody say Grace? 
ARC D-115: What tubes and cables?
Davef, Thanks for the Nordost recommendation! 
ARC D-115: What tubes and cables?
Yes!-Sorry for not being specific on the issue- The RS wires was one of those things that simply clicked with my system, and I was really surprised by this. And NO,they do not work well with the D-115. (It is a Mk 2 Hifi Geek).Here is my System:Mo... 
ARC D-115: What tubes and cables?
Goldeneraguy, I was using Radio Shack 18ga solid core cabling with the D-120. (No kidding). So Purist seems like a gigantic leap. Any other sugestions? 
ARC D-115: What tubes and cables?
Thanks guys, this is the first tube amp that I've owned.Prior to this, I was using an ARC D-120 that simply got outof the way and made my Proacs really sing. However this is an entirely different beast! (LOL) 
Help with Modified Audible Illusions Modulus 3
First instinct is to say, WTF; as AI interiors are a thing of beauty. This one sure ain't! However, on a second look it seems as if they by-passed some circuitry. Do all the switches work? 
Nude Turntable Project
Thanks, HiHo,Your thoughts and this thread as a whole has really motivated me to revive this table.I fixed the tonearm weight today and will solder a broken wire tonight.Long Live Analog! 
Nude Turntable Project
OK Guys, so what about the TT-71 aka JVC QL-7/7A? I have one sitting unused for a while with a cracked dustcover and a sagging tonearm counterweight which I bought for $35.00.I know it is not a QL-8 or 10, but... 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Wow, what a great thread. However, no mention so far that Goldmund and Micro-Seiki used JVC core motors. Anyone care to elaborate on this? 
which ProAc speaker?
Well, I tried out my Berning preamp with an Audio Research solid state amp at a Dealer recently, using Dynaudio Focus speakers. The sound was clean, but too forrward and veering on brightness for my taste. I then took the amp home for further list... 
Gale 401a speakers
One of the most jaw-dropping systems I ever heard was wayback around 1984.It was comprised of a Linn LP-12/Syrinx PU2/ Supex 900 front-end, Berning T-10 preamp, Threshold 300 amp, and of all things, Gale 401 speakers.Simply unbelievable!
