    Made to measure 2M/1210MK2 cartridge shim/spacer.

    Hi, just remark. Ortofon 2mr family of carts has reduced overal cartridge height to fit e.g. into Rega arms without need to put shims under armbase. And this is good, makes life easier. Headshell in principle is a compromise (mainly from plastic) and put below another acryl-plastic shim is...

    Question Looking for a Subwoofer for the KEF LS50 Wireless II

    Hi, Kef LS 50 wireless are realy good speakers, very fast and detailed. It is not easy to find a top matching sub. From my experience, I recommend to look for one 10 inch subwoofer or two 8 inch subwoofers with closed box. One woofer per side is optimum. With sealed-closed cabinet, you will have...

    RCA interconnect over 12 meters for Pro-Ject T2 Super Phono deck to AV amp?

    If sound quality is not a prio nr 1, than I agree with this solution. But use turntable with 20m of rca cable is like to connect to neighbour house and his turntable, just wasting money for cables.

    CD vs vinyl playback

    Hi, thanks a lot for opening this happy topic. I own both CD and Vinyl (Two Rega spinners). I like, love them both. Both are very good. If I must decide, I prefere vinyl simply due to its fluid, "taste" of history and respect for mechanical engineering remembering Edison age. On the other side...

    New cartridge for Pro-Ject RPM4?

    Hi Staffan, Project develop turntables with Ortofon cartridges, so pairing with Ortofon is the most safe combination. Ortofon 2M Blue is the right choice for Project RPM 4. I recommend to change a rubber belt, if still original from purchase. It is easy to get as spare part. And very important...

    Question Rega ND5 VS Audio Technica VM740ML Cartridge

    Hi, If I understand right, your P3 is some earlier version. But still very good. Elys 2 was very fine cartridge, same like Exact, which I have used for years. To be honest, new generation of Rega ND cartridges is in different league. Even ND3 is better than Exact. ND5 is may be best price/value...

    4000€, for a tiny room..

    No, it is different story. You spit fire without any argument and comparison. Your second reply has more sense. At least you mention amp on whitch you made comparisons. To be honest, Hegel amp is very good among dac equiped amps or streaming amps. But there are several pure analogue amps that...

    4000€, for a tiny room..

    Hi, you are terribly wrong. Evoke 20 or even Special 40 are very good bookshelf speakers from Dynaudio. BUT they need high quality system to show, what they are capable of. Dali are class leaders as well and they keep regular improvements. "Rubicore is just like bad tasting beer". I must smile...
