Wilson Audio Sasha I or 2 ?
@mmbl622 Hello there...what did you decide on?  I have Sophia 1 with ARC REF gear and am getting the itch to upgrade.  I heard some Sasha 1 at a friends house and was very impressed.  He has modest SS gear, don't recall brands.  I really wanted Al...

The Kleos offered a very nice and detailed presentation but was a bit too 'in my face' and a bit bright compared to my Purple Heart.

@mytthor appreciate the referral of Steve and Ray for service.  I had read somewhere of others having a good experience with them.     A near mint Lyra Kleos came up for sale on USAM yesterday at a great price so I bought that.  Lyra has been a ... 
What record cleaner is the most bang for the buck??
+1 for squeaky clean It's not fancy and a bit awkward to leave out due to having a small shop vac involved but if you are going to make cleaning a once in a while event where you get everything out and clean one evening and then put it up it woul...

@russellrcncom Are you using this as the stock arm on an RP10 or modified a non-Rega turntable?  Don't suppose it matters....right?  Just curious I should have included Rega RB3000 in the title as many have commented on choices on other brand arm...

@lewm - I know we have to take online commentary with a chunk of salt but I have been in sales for all of my life and pride myself on empathy and being open-minded.  As I mentioned it was very disappointing how responsive and helpful the SS group ...

@audphile1 - you do bring up a good point that I have recognized and worked with in the past.  I don't recall how the actual dimensions compared when I had the Aphelion 2 but I did buy the spacer set and adjusted the arm from the base.  I did not ...

@tomic601 - I have seen immediate improvements from better isolation for my turntable and subwoofers but have not tried anything under the components.  You may be on to something here as I know I am currently running a fabulous cartridge so maybe ...

@mijostyn - Just checked hifishark and an Eminent EX sold 3 weeks ago in 2 days for $2500!  Just a little late on my inquiry, but will definitely be watching for the next one.

@jjss49  - Thanks, will do some research on dynavector @tablejockey - Good idea to keep AT in mind.  I see lots of positive things and big fans of their high end cartridges.  That ART-20 does seem like a good candidate to keep an eye out for a de... 
Ultimate test of bass - Lana del Rey's A&W
@durangoat thanks for that referral....something about hearing an actual instrument that makes the results in your room so much more satisfying;  no offense to the OP as I sometimes enjoy electronic music but it is mostly overdone for my ears and ... 
What should my heirs do to dispose of my vinyl and CDs?
@hifiman5  One idea is to search your area for donation options.  Check out what a collection sparked here in Memphis.  They continue to accept donations. They keep new additions that are in good condition and have sales of the rest to help fund ... 
Rega Naia later this year
Man I don’t care I just love Rega and was excited to see a new top model on the market  
Rega Naia later this year
It would be fun to compare.  I appreciated an improvement going from the RP10 to the P10. They mention the new tonearm, ceramic hub, new feet along with new plinth material.  I may have missed some but I would expect those to offer an appreciable...
