| What brand did you leave Rega for? I started with a Planar 3 and Linn K9 cartridge, then I bought an Exact cartridge (which was purchased in a shop in London for 1/2 the US price) to a Linn LP12. But the LP 12 went through upgrades too. My LP 12 originally had an RB300 arm, stil wi... | |
| Problem with Turntable leveling? Even if the platter is level and the arm is level it's possible the arm rest upon which your arm is lifted is a bit off level. This certainly could not impact playback at all | |
| Aleph 3 Buzzing noise Is this a mechanical buzzing sound coming from the amp or is the buzz coming through the speakers? If its a mechanical sound from he amp itself it may be the transformer. I once had an amp many years ago where the transformer buzzed- the transform... | |
| CJ ET3SE OR 16LS Series 2 I owned a 17LS2 for a number of years. It was a very good preamp. Might buy one again one day. Mine sold for a little under $3,000 when I sold it. | |
| How can a 30 watt, 28 year old amp sound more Years back I had a ML amp that needed to be repaired. While it was being repaired I used a 25wpc NAD unit to power my system. In a word, it was spectacular. It was easily 90% of what the ML was in terms of sound quality. Not long after the ML came... | |
| Do you think LP needs break-in to sound its best? Never experienced LPs sounding better after a few plays. But what do I know- I have been buying LPs for 4 decades | |
| Interconnect cable, $150 max For headphone setup I was able to pick up the Oasis for $90 new. Fits the bill and sounds good and seems solid. | |
| Is soundstage just a distortion? I don't think my componenets are "poorly designed", as I use a rather nice Sim Audio CD player, and have an LP12/Ekos/Arkiv B turntable set up. I don't know whether the point of stereo is to spread the sound outside of between the speakers. I thou... | |
| Is soundstage just a distortion? I could have been clearer- is soundstage extendeding beyond the speakers a product of a distortion? | |
| price point to move to separates vs integrated I replaced a CJ Preamp and Amp set up with a tubed integrated. The integrated beats my former CJ gear. In Fact I feel my currentIntegrated also is better than any othe pre power arrangements I owned- Including Pass, Bryston, ML. So to me neither h... | |
| I'm studying MIT cables Open up a box and see what's really inside. | |
| Major upgrade from Rega Apollo: Which one? I owned an Apollo and was looking for the same thing you are. I bought a Sim Audio 260D. It meets all of my expectations and is clearly better than the CD player I had before the Apollo, a Meridian 508.24 (this was a $4000 machine in itsday). The ... | |
| Grado Reference RA-1 Battery Alternative The RA-1 is a simple op amp based amp that uses very inexpensive components. It's a CMOY amp, and if you look at eBay and on the net, you will see it's quite inexpensive. That said, it can be a very good amp. So if you want basically the same amp,... | |
| Interconnect with great dynamics and bass slam , After trying many cables over the years I found and really enjoyed Solo Crystal IC's. I used those throughout my entire system. After a few years I got "the itch" and sold them all and started using something else. Well, now I am once again runnin... | |
| Pass Aleph P versions I LOVE my Aleph Ono. it is very flexible for loading and offers variable gain. It is vey dynamic and pretty quiet too. Between the Ono and the Aleph P, the Ono was the superstar.My first piece of Pass gear was the Ono. Though Pass they told me of ... |
