Thinking about getting into vinyl again...
Keithtexas has a point about the Rega. There's not much too them to justify their price. The tonearms are very nice, but everything else is pretty crude. Something that just about anybody could make in their garage with some basic tools. Methinks ... 
Thinking about getting into vinyl again...
I have a hunch that dealers do better monetarily selling the Rega line, than with other brands, e.g. VPI. Had too many dealers try to nudge me over to Rega when I wasn't asking about them. These dealers normally don't do that with other types of p...

Climate change "science," that's a good one. Good luck isolating the real science from the political agendas. 
audiphile power cords
I have an amplifier that cost more that 5 grand and the manufacturer told me not to waste my money. I don't know one way or the other, but I'm just sayin'. They did say an expensive power regenerator would make a difference, but at a significant c...

Ml8764ag, since you are looking at the RP3 from Music Direct, I'd recommend checking out the clearance RP40 from them too. It's basically an improved RP3 and when it's on sale it is probably the better way to go. Good luck. 
Dynavector 20X2 vs Ortofon 2M Black
I'm surprised nobody has responded to this. I'd like to hear about the comparison too. This is probably a common comparison so you should be able to search for a similar thread that has already been posted, either here or on another site. I'm curi... 
What's a good alternative to Pass Labs?
Colonel, did you say less bright and less warm at the same time? 
Speakers with good timing
What is "good timing"? If you are talking about speakers that are "time coherent" then that is one thing that would be very easy to research (Thiel and Vandersteen come to mind immediately) but there are plenty others. But it doesn't sound like ti... 
Pass A vs. AB amps
Thanks for the informative reply. Nice article by Pass. 
ARC or other Pre?
Bifwynne - thanks for the response. That's good insight you provided. 
ARC or other Pre?
Is there really that much difference between the models, such as the LS27 and say the LS26? And the Ref3 versus the Ref5? We're talking mid-20th century technology here, folks -- there are no real breakthroughs happening here. Something about a co... 
Sadly missed manufacturers
How about B&W. They began a slow death when John Bowers passed away, didn't they? 
Pass First Watt models ... confused
Which current model is closest to the Aleph J? Can't buy an Aleph J anymore. 
Pro-ject Debut Carbon vs Debut III ??
Thanks all. I am considering reconsidering my price range, but not sure yet. For me there are 3 possible price ranges I will decide upon: 1) Debut Carbon @ $400, 2) Rega RP3 @ 1000, or 3) Clearaudio Concept or Rega RP6 or VPI Traveler at the very ... 
Best phono preamp under $500?
Thanks for the feedback everyone. I forgot to say that when it comes to hi-fi, I prefer to avoid Chinese made equipment. Impossible to do in everyday products, but in the world of high end electronics it is still very feasible and practical. I'm n...
