Greg sez “Come on, Paul, tsk, tsk. Lytics are fine”I thought this was an “audiophile” forum ;-)“Easy to diy -- BUT if in doubt, go to technician.”The tech is telling him “boat anchors” remember? Best stay far away from that tech – sounds like a sh...

Best Cartridge for Rega RB 300 and RB1000 ?
Hi Dave, For the Denon’s I use a 9" blue dot (14 gram) arm. I also tried the yellow dot but they sounded better on the blue. Not much in it though.My TT is very well isolated, the stand is on a concrete floor and I use two three-inch maple platfor... 
Best Cartridge for Rega RB 300 and RB1000 ?
Hi Oregon.I used a couple of arms as my TT has three arms. Currently I use Morch UP4 for the DL103R and a 12” Scheu Classic for the DL103. I tried both carts on both arms, and on a SME 3009. The DL103R was noticeably better on all three arms. The ... 
Is Digital actually better than Analog?
LOL. Tsk Tsk Msgarch, and there you were posting like you actually knew what you were talking about ;-)Look on the bright side, you’re 3/4 way there, I still need 10 years! Man I doubt I can handle the agony of listening to vinyl for another ten y... 
Best Cartridge for Rega RB 300 and RB1000 ?
If you like the DL103 on an RB300, then a DL103R on the 1000 would be a sure thing. I run both a 'standard' 103 and an R, and the R is a bit more refined whilst keeping all the good qualities of the standard 103.RegardsPaul 
Is Digital actually better than Analog?
Hey Nsgarch, it seems we both need to learn a lot about audio. Where did you get that silly notion that sound reflection and refraction should occur naturally when you can have it done artificially? ;-)Good thing we both spell correctly, otherwise... 
Is Digital actually better than Analog?
“its scientifically proven adding rear channels is the best way to do it.”Really? By whom? I have listened to many an opera, recitals and live jazz/rock performances. Never had anybody walk off stage to sing/play an instrument behind me. Seen Star... 
Tube amp for rock? Newb Questions
Zamdrang. Go tubes. The "sounds almost like tubes" only works for folks who are unfamiliar with the sound of tubes. Since you are familiar with the sound of tubes, you’ll soon be disappointed with anything other than he real thing. The EL34 is a g... 
Is Digital actually better than Analog?
I went from digital-only to analog-only about 4 years ago. It started off when I bought a relatively inexpensive analog rig to see what the hubbub was about. As time progressed I found myself listening more and more to vinyl up to the stage where ... 
Help ...... excesssssssive sssssssssssssssssssss
I had extreme sibilance, so much so that I could only listen to about 20% of my software. For a (very) long while I tried to make my system darker, but the darker I made it the more noticeable became the sibilance. I now have zero sibilance and I ... 
12" Tonearm What Have You Heard & Recommend?
I’ll second the Scheu Classic II. It sounds excellent and is a very inexpensive arm. 
I want more from my Rega P5
TwochannelI had a huge improvement in sound by placing my TT on a maple platform. For less than $75 my sound went from good to where I cannot stop listening. Admittedly, it was already way better than any digital I have heard, but I suspect your R...
