turntable

I got a panasonic rd 2900 turntable, was wondering if anybody knew anything about this table. Some albums sound good and others the sound is harsh.

Would also like some recommedations on either used or new table for 3 to 4 hundred bucks. Any info would be appreciated. I am new to vinyl and would like to get the most of my system.

thank you.

What if you can't audition?

Do any of you ever decide to buy major components of your audio systems without auditioning it? I'm tempted to buy a piece of equipment based solely on reviews and comments of others. The reason is that the manufacturer has no dealers in my state (Texas). There is nowhere I can go to audition the equipment.

I may ask the manufacturer if I can return the unit if I purchase it and find out that I'm not satisfied with it.

Have any of you ever done something like that? What kind of experience was it for you? Would you do it again?

Ever given something back and cried your audiophool heart out

MSB Platinum M200 Monoaural poweramps Luckily or unluckily as it turned out my friend is the UK ddistributor and the nasty so and so only let me have them in my system for a couple of weeks.... they are packed in their boxes ready to be returned... will life ever be the same again

turntable troubleshooting

Recently having issues with my upgraded Rega P1 turntable. Glass platter and Ortofon OM20 cartridge. For some reason, vinyl now sounds like garbage thru my speakers (Monitor Audio RS6's). Connects into a McIntosh C28 pre-amp, to a MC2105 amp. For a period of time, everything sounded great. Now I am having problems with the stereo mode on the pre-amp; only if I use the L to L & R mode do I hear sound out of both speakers; mono works ok. I've plugged in a digital source into the aux input on the pre-amp and everything works and sounds fine.

Although I'll be spending most of my time at <I>Stereophile</I> reviewing affordable gear, I will from time to time examine so-called "trickle-down" designs from high-end designers who have made their mark in the upper-price echelons. More and more, such designers are taking what they've learned and applying it to less-expensive products in order to broaden their customer base. Cary Audio Design, for example, of single-ended triode fame, has entered the ring with the SLM-100 pentode monoblocks.
