Alright, guys. This is a LONG way off, but I'm thinking about how I will invest my money in analog when I do finally have the means. I'm already set on Rega, so no TT recommendations, if you please, but I'd like to know what you think is more important; Is it the turntable/tonearm or the cartridge?

I'll share with you my specific thoughts, and you can let me know what you think.

Option 1:

Rega P2 ($495), glass platter ($70), Dynavector 10x5 ($380)

Total: $945
(Note: I've not included the negligible price of a Rega VTA shim)

Option 2:

Hi, first post. I'm not a stereophile, but I'm hoping to get some good advice from those who are.

I have always had low budget stereo gear. About a year ago, I inherited a pair of B&W DM3000 speakers. They're probably a little big for my current apartment but I hope to keep them for a good long while, including a bigger space. Very nice speakers.

A few days ago, my Kenwood receiver stopped powering up (won't come out of "standby" mode). It's an 80 watt per channel, two channel receiver that's probably 12-15 years old. (Kenwood KR-A4060).

Hello all,

I recently got my Rega P1 in the mail and I am extremely happy and can't stop listening to it, but I have an LP which I've found a peculiar issue with:

I'm realy happy with my system but very sometimes I like to compensate bad recordings. I was thinking of a Quad/Luxman "tilt" with some filters in my tape lus (do you use a tape in and out?) but a can't find such a device on the market. Any suggestions?

Thank you,

Carl

Now all you purveyors of things that most can't hear.....is this what you hear, or imagine you hear? Just cus' NASA says it happens, in whatever stuff they are using, does it mean you can hear it? http://www.record-producer.com/learn.cfm?a=4213
