System for rock
I have one word for you- NAIM. 
Which NYC Dealers REALLY know how to setup a TT?
Go to Jeff at Highwater sound. He knows his stuff, has an amazing LP collection, and can set up a turntable beautifully. He has a number of turntable lines and I think he carries Roksan, which has turntables at multiple price points. 
Choice Rega P5 or VPI Scout?
Depends on your musical tastes and if you are a tweaker/upgrader. I've always liked Rega better than VPI, but VPI makes a nice table. I'm not a tweaker and I just want to listen to listen to music with a simple, reliable, turn key machine. Both ac... 
Tally up best digital player ever
Linn CD 12 is the best I've heard 
Teres vs VPI, SME, Origin Live, etc.
Heard good things about the Kuzma, but have never had the opportunity to listen to one. If you are in heaven with this TT, then you are done- drop out and listen to music my friend.Michael 
Teres vs VPI, SME, Origin Live, etc.
Ken,Rega, Well Tempered, Linn, SME, Roksan, VPI (some of their models), and the old Nottingham Spacedeck are tables that appeal to me. I don't really care what anyone thinks of any of these tables, but this is where I am coming from. To each their... 
Teres vs VPI, SME, Origin Live, etc.
Larry,I heard a 320 and another Teres which was part of "the Teres project- DIY." it all depends on whether you like the big/jet black sound they produce- if you are after that, then the Teres is very good. I just found them uninvolving.Michael 
Teres vs VPI, SME, Origin Live, etc.
There are no commercial reviews of a Teres because Teres doesn't sell via dealers, advertise in mags or provide free goodies to reviewers. By this logic, the review of Empirical Audio's Holophonic cables would never have been printed in the recent... 
Best Rock Cartridge for Rega $600
Rega's own exact is good for rock, but I use a Dynavector 20XH on my P25 and think it is fabulous for rock. Some other alternatives for you.Michael 
Personal turntable/cartridge evolution
1) JVC Direct Drive my father gave me with Ortofon cart- 1989-1994.2) Rega Planar 3 1994-19993) Rega Planar 25 1999-Michael 
Is this why my analog rig isn't so hot?
Psychic,Is your friend going to keep his TT? Just curious.Michael 
Rega P25 question
I also have a Dynavector 20X. Great match!!!! I've also used Benz Micro (fine) and Grado (bad match). 
MIT Shotgun vs Magnum
I have a pair of Shotgun S3 rca's and the sound you are hearing is the exact opposite of what I hear. They sometimes have too much body for me. Bizarre! 
Is this why my analog rig isn't so hot?
Sweet!!! Just what I need- more school!Michael

>>My next door neighbor is a 20 yr kid and he says that you'd never know it's records that one is listening to--that it sounds like CDs. What a compliment!<<Really? I'd take it as an insult- I don't know too many people trying to make ...
