Romy, this is my first post on this forum and I am also on the verge of buying my first ever turntable. Have you ever heard a Rega or Origin Live tonearm ? Do you have an opinion about them ? I am looking to add a 12" tonearm to my TT and looking to ...

Hi. First time posting. I had long admired an older friend's RX-5000. He left it to me when he passed last year (RIP, Bill) and I recently got possession and did a lot of cleanup on a table that had been sitting for a couple of decades. He has ow...

what others say, I have used the following procedures to set my own "anti-skate" on my own pivoted tonearm: 1) level TT/platter 2) set-up arm/cartridge for minimal tracking error, including proper VTA/SRA and VTF 3) use ""blank" sections of (test) L...

OK, not to use "that word"; it is obviously an inverted and self-limiting concept as you tab it, and it is an easy, slippery slope to slide down.So how does one {mentally/verbally] approach situations where certain otherwise-"acceptable" compone...

I ripped my Cd player (to old to mention ) output stage and replaced it with SS J-fet phono preamp .I took RIaa components out .The dac puts out only 20mV so the MM stage with separate PSU and discrete J-fet regulators seems adequte for the job. Whol...

Some time ago I got a bunch of Euro-style tire weights, which I have long used to add mass to my tonearms (at the headshell). This style of weight is thin lead strips of nominal 7g sections, each of which has peel-and-stick self-adhesive. Strip...

Yes. It depends on what someone wants (and what can follow)- i just want to listen to a record / musicThis can be done with a cheap Rega TurntableThe Problem starts, when you try a "Upgrade" , hear a difference and - now very dangerous- you ask yours...

As I grow old and nurse a fragile back, I too have a fantasy of a good sounding, lightweight TT (and amp, speakers for the matter).Every lightweight TT on the market makes me interested for this reason
(Rega Planar 9, Well Tempered, Roksan, Amazon,...

I have heard the Proscenium II sounding good/allowing cartridge to sound good/sounding good in a system which for all I know could have sounded considerably better had it been exchanged for a Rega or somesuch, because the system was not my own and I'...

On the face of it, the AF1 represents a "finished high-end product". Clearly, it is well thought out and presented in this way, and this closing/finishing effort was not cheap. And the reasons for this are well understood, because only in this way ca...

Wow, price inflation in TTs were a lot worse than I thought! (more than 400% in nominal prices in the example of Goldmund).
You are right, the prices in audio seem a riddle wrapped in a mystery within an enigma. As a manufacturer, it is almost...

[quote user="Paul S"]No "cost assumption" was made or posited about bearings, rather the remark was framed as a question, just wondering, likewise the very general remarks about belts (along with the closing disclaimer). If the air system is cheap, ...

Hi Romy and others,One thing that I have struggled with for some time is that I have always been plagued with
inner groove distortion on the majority of my records (many new, all cleaned with Nitty Gritty).

Epigraph
"…just buy a used Micro Seiki and don’t worry about turntables anymore; built like a tank and sounds better than TTs costing over 30K USD.” Mr. Ikeda, of Ikeda / Fidelity Research
