Roger Wilco. The monos of that era are dirt cheap but the stereos are often $$$. That would work. Tomorrow is a football day, GO CHIEFS!, so I'll try to get some #s and a pic or two describing what I'm talking about. George Piros was responsible for a lot of the mastering work for Mercury and...

You need to be on the lookout for some '50s and '60s Mercury Living Presence records then. George Piros would cut all the way to the label and get astounding dynamics without distortion even at the innermost groove. Some cartridge alignments work better for older stuff like that than those...

What’s spinning? Live jazz

Thank God for the cute animals thread. The human (political)(reality) thread is just deflating. But necessary.

Oh, I agree with that. How does your vpi compare in price to the P10? My original comment was that you would like the Naia and that it wasn’t an arm and a leg expensive compared to the Nagra gear it is pictured with. In fact that the ‘table is shown with all the very pricey stuff says something...

How much time do you spend staring at your’ table when listening?😁 Anyway, if sound quality is most important to you, as it is with me, the Rega’s looks shouldn’t be a negative feature. The P8, P10 and NAIA are not your grandfather’s Rega and sound as good as much more expensive ‘tables and can...

Your system is easily good enough to tell you the Rega is vastly superior.

You would be very happy with that Rega Naia.

I'm old enough to be able to say I saw Ken Harrelson playing first base for the KC A's as a youngster. He was a serviceable first baseman and very mediocre as an outfielder with a batting average that was meh. He was always a good quote for the writers and broadcasters and that got him into the...

Don't they all? :)

Completely agree with @displayname about the suspensions these 'tables utilize. What you've heard is true, they require attention from time to time. Klutzy to the point that only "experts" should tune them (Linn) to the arm according to some. They can be great with a good tune but tend to drift...

I would say, my experience with VPI uni for 20 years, that they aren't inherently finicky as once set they stay that way. The finickyness comes from the ability to make changes somewhat easily is what makes them so fiddly as you are always hunting for the best sound for just about every record...

What are you waiting for?

Yup, the caps are what store the power.

Yes, the LPS is addictively good, just too heavy for Rega arms. Ruby Z is a suitable alternative. Thinking about the Aphelion II or the Benz Ref I to pair with the Sutherland Dos Locos. Like the set it and forget appeal of Rega ‘tables I miss the out of sight out of mind beauty of Sutherland...

Just about the most basic model, right? They do sound as if you are getting what you pay for. 👍 Ruby Z for which ‘table?

Amen, brother. Having been listening to the top tier of Benz cartridges for over 25 years you hit the nail on the head. If you’re interested in hearing and feeling music vs dissecting what is in the grooves, Benz, across all price ranges, will be extremely accurate AND sound romantic similar to...

Waiting in anticipation of your observations. 👍

My comment referred to the basic construction of an SUT that doesn’t having any active parts and is quite simple. Core, wire and skill of the constructor dictates the performance quality - and price.

Aren’t all SUTs pretty basic? 😉😁
