12" Tonearm What Have You Heard & Recommend?
I noticed on their website they have an "upgraded" arm soon to be availible and ebay has been offering the "new old stock" if the web site is current. Mmmm..... 
Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long
Twl,I would be interested in knowing your thoughts on the groove tracer type design counterweight which appears to be a more mechanical amplification of the tecnoweight. Is it more beneficial for a low compliance suspension? Is it logical that the... 
dual belt pulley - who's got 'em for a P2 or NAD53
Hey I'm interested too. I think the upper price rega units (P5,P7,P9) motors all come with them. Correct me if I am wrong Regamaniacs. That would be a sweet upgrade! 
Review: Rega Planar 3 Turntable
Also the drive belt is important to keep fresh as it ages and becomes less compliant (much like your windshield wipers) it is more prone to slip and transfer noise at a higher level. This I found out when I decided and sold a perfectly good table ... 
I want more from my Rega P5
Be sure that you have broken in and set up everything correctly. Phono stages and carts can take a long time to break in especially if there are transformers involved. Start by reading the TWL thread on Rega arm setup (Forums: Strange Tonearm Twea... 
DK Design VS.1 Reference mkII - Optimization
Sbayne, I was thinking also about the "integrated" issue with both the preamp and the power amp being fed at the same time from the same hose, er... cable. Hey in relation to the modified VS1MKII I wonder if the Parts Connexion could modify it to ... 
Turntable Upgrade Suggestion
Marc,I found Rega has a recent motor upgrade for the P3 or P2. Also Heed Audio has a PSU for Rega and others and of course the VPI SDS could be used also. Also other Rega tweeks include a motor & spindle vibration banding with elastomer band t... 
DK Design VS.1 Reference mkII - Optimization
Sbayne,I went to the Zcables website and was reading the Black Lightning info and noticed that they "do not advise the 12AWG for amps producing over 200 watts non didgital" I emailed and received a reply from Mark Hampton stating that high current... 
DK Design VS.1 Reference mkII - Optimization
Work in progress....My speakers don't really allow me to turn up the volume much past the 9 o'clock position with out involving the neighbors and I also noticed the lack of heat produced and decided to try something to see if it improved the perfo... 
DK Design VS.1 Reference mkII - Optimization
Sbayne, interesting especially considering the didgital metered display which may be a source of rfi interacting with the transformers. On the inside rear panel, do you think the speaker output wiring proximity to the preamp tubes might cause any ... 
Turntable Upgrade Suggestion
Hey one more idea if keeping your P3 is the Origin live DC motor upgrade. Who knows you may just choose to keep the thing it sounds so good! Check out the reviews....Jon 
Turntable Upgrade Suggestion
Marc Congradulations. The decoupling priciple that the OL people incorporate in the stub and headshell piece should also work well with the decoupling engineered into the VTAF. You may want to check out the 6moons article(s) using both the OL Silv... 
Real world experience with the Funk or Funk V TT
Ok, somebody flush and turn on the exhaust fan...lets get back to what this table is about.I too am interested in what your experiences are Matt. I love the fact that it is not the same as most square boxes. It looks to be another interpretation i... 
Turntable Upgrade Suggestion
Marc, I guess better means whatever best fits your goals. If you hope to one day have the supporting cast of equipment and your personal listening enjoyment would actually increase with the elevation in audio performance, plan your project accordi... 
Turntable Upgrade Suggestion
Another way to go would be to get the Riggle VTA quick change unit on the Planar and use your existing RB 300 for your mono cart. Then step up to a Origin Live Silver Arm (or better)and use the Riggle VTA on it also. This would allow you to very q...
