Mat for Rega P10
At best it is a difference in design philosophy. Saying that Rega tonearms aren’t a proper tonearm when they are universally praised and used by other manufacturers and custom turntable builders is a stretch. I respect your opinion chakster and ha...

Awesome! Glad to hear it all worked out for you.  
Mat for Rega P10
Please respond with your impressions of the Teac mat once you receive it. I would be curious to know how you like it.  
Rega Apheta / Aphelion overkill for P6?
I have an Ania currently and I have used it on three rega tonearms between two different turntables. I started with the Ania on a planar 2 with an rb220 tonearm. It was a huge improvement over the nagaoka MP-110 it replaced. I then bought a used r... 
Will a $700 turntable outperform a CD player?
@larry5729... I assume you mean background white-noise or record surface noise. If I am correct then you have never heard a really good vinyl rig. My turntable and phono stage are dead quite and have an ultra low noise floor. Most visitors dont ev... 
Mat for Rega P10
I have a new model planar 8 and I use a deerskin mat from "Jake's turntable mats". Thin and supple, no more static issues, seems to couple the record well. They are dirt cheap at around $35 shipped. It is literally the only thing I carried over fr... 
Will a $700 turntable outperform a CD player?
@cal91... streaming in like the internet jukebox at the bar. You can control it from your phone and you never have to get up to swap your cd or lp. You have hundreds of cds... I have Tidal and Qobuz which each have around 50 million tracks (yes th... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Just finished Alan Parsons Project - I Robot (mofi 45 master copy).Moving on to Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms (mofi 45 master copy). 
Help Upgrading My Phono Chain
I traded in a planar 2 with a bunch of upgraded items (groovetracer stuff, upgraded tonearm, etc) to hifi-heaven out of Wisconsin recently and came out very good. I traded up to a current model planar 8 without cartridge and was very happy with ho... 
Will a $700 turntable outperform a CD player?
It seems like you need to spend around $2 towards a vinyl rig to equal $1 on the digital rig. That is my experience anyway. That is just the equipment. That doesn’t factor in the expensive audiophile pressings that really bring things to life.That... 
I am looking for help selecting an amplifier to match my Revel F228Be speakers.
I have a pair of Revel f208 towers, Benchmark DAC 2 HGC & Bluesound Node 2i along with a Rega Planar 8. I am about 70% vinyl and 30% hi‐res streaming. I run everything with an Arcam SR250 and am very pleased with my current setup. I realize th... 
Rega p25 vs newer rp3
I don't have any direct hands on experience with the planar 25 or the older rp3 but I have owned a new model planar 2 (with both the rb220 and rb330 tonearms) and I now own a current model planar 8. My Dad has a current model planar 6.The current ... 
Bluesound Powernode 2i as Music Streamer
Looking at the power node you have a 3.5mm headphone out. You should be able to get a 3.5mm to RCA cable.  
Doe you enjoy your listening to music and your system more with others or alone?
I love sharing with other people but finding someone who appreciates things the same way is the challenge. Most people just don't get it. I would say when you find that rare unicorn that you can tell appreciates the effort... that is the best. Whe... 
Good Stereo Speakers for outside use during BBQs, evening pot luck dinners etc
On the large side of things, I bought a cheap PA setup from monoprice for outdoor events and karaoke. Two self powered 15" plastic boxed PA speakers, stands, cables, a wireless mic set from Amazon. I have under $400 into everything (less than my l...
