Romy, this is my first post on this forum and I am also on the verge of buying my first ever turntable. Have you ever heard a Rega or Origin Live tonearm ? Do you have an opinion about them ? I am looking to add a 12" tonearm to my TT and looking to ...

what others say, I have used the following procedures to set my own "anti-skate" on my own pivoted tonearm: 1) level TT/platter 2) set-up arm/cartridge for minimal tracking error, including proper VTA/SRA and VTF 3) use ""blank" sections of (test) L...

Hi. First time posting. I had long admired an older friend's RX-5000. He left it to me when he passed last year (RIP, Bill) and I recently got possession and did a lot of cleanup on a table that had been sitting for a couple of decades. He has ow...

I ripped my Cd player (to old to mention ) output stage and replaced it with SS J-fet phono preamp .I took RIaa components out .The dac puts out only 20mV so the MM stage with separate PSU and discrete J-fet regulators seems adequte for the job. Whol...

Some time ago I got a bunch of Euro-style tire weights, which I have long used to add mass to my tonearms (at the headshell). This style of weight is thin lead strips of nominal 7g sections, each of which has peel-and-stick self-adhesive. Strip...

OK, not to use "that word"; it is obviously an inverted and self-limiting concept as you tab it, and it is an easy, slippery slope to slide down.So how does one {mentally/verbally] approach situations where certain otherwise-"acceptable" compone...

Yes. It depends on what someone wants (and what can follow)- i just want to listen to a record / musicThis can be done with a cheap Rega TurntableThe Problem starts, when you try a "Upgrade" , hear a difference and - now very dangerous- you ask yours...

I have heard the Proscenium II sounding good/allowing cartridge to sound good/sounding good in a system which for all I know could have sounded considerably better had it been exchanged for a Rega or somesuch, because the system was not my own and I'...

As I grow old and nurse a fragile back, I too have a fantasy of a good sounding, lightweight TT (and amp, speakers for the matter).Every lightweight TT on the market makes me interested for this reason
(Rega Planar 9, Well Tempered, Roksan, Amazon,...

On the face of it, the AF1 represents a "finished high-end product". Clearly, it is well thought out and presented in this way, and this closing/finishing effort was not cheap. And the reasons for this are well understood, because only in this way ca...

Wow, price inflation in TTs were a lot worse than I thought! (more than 400% in nominal prices in the example of Goldmund).
You are right, the prices in audio seem a riddle wrapped in a mystery within an enigma. As a manufacturer, it is almost...

[quote user="Paul S"]No "cost assumption" was made or posited about bearings, rather the remark was framed as a question, just wondering, likewise the very general remarks about belts (along with the closing disclaimer). If the air system is cheap, ...

Hi Romy and others,One thing that I have struggled with for some time is that I have always been plagued with
inner groove distortion on the majority of my records (many new, all cleaned with Nitty Gritty).
