    Rega quality control slipping?

    Picked up my brand new RP6 yesterday, and this morning noticed a pretty big chip in the edge of the glass platter - I would love to post a picture but cannot get the image widget to play nice with my browser. The store got one in for me to demo a couple of weeks ago, and that had a motor issue...

    Kef LS50 with Rega brio r

    FWIW, having dipped into this thread about 6 posts back, I had gone through weeks of trialling various amp/speaker combos, before hitting on the A19/LS50 combo and basically loving it, but feeling like you that it was maybe a little too laid back. so, I had a home demo last weekend of the LS50s...

    How to add warmth

    Hi Steve Yes, sorry, I did let it wander a bit The main jyst was I was going through a lot of trial and error demos, both in store and at home, with various levels of amp and floorstanding speakers, but found it all bloody hard listening and was starting to get a bit desperate. I was just...

    How to add warmth

    Remove floor standing speakers and naim electronics Add Arcam FMJ A19 and KEF LS50s bingo warm and happy-making like hot chocolate on a snowy day If anything, a tad too warm, too laid back. Too chocolatey! Going to see if the Elex-R is the shot of brandy this needs to just perk it up a...

    Kef LS50 with Rega brio r

    ...how is the OP getting on with the elex-r / ls50 combo? The reason I ask is I have currently got an A19 on home demo with the LS50s after a long and sometimes painful journey through floorstanders (684s2 and Spendor a5r) demo'd with the A19, Rega Elex-r and Naim 5si, both in store and at...

    How to add warmth

    I guess I was more referring to their effects on sound quality rather than their similarities to unicorns Can a length of cable really open sound up, or close it down? calm brightness, or add warmth? Or is it all just one big scam? *unknw*

    Record cleaning

    yup, just ordered one of these from Amazon for £38 delivered, plus 100 new poly lined paper sleeves. Should be enough to a) get me going b) deal with the worst cases and c) develop mild RSI cheers, Matt

    How to add warmth

    Time for my latest stupid question I've got a Naim Nait 5si and Rega Elex-R on home demo for the weekend, with a pair of Spendor A5Rs. My source is a Rega RP3. Irrespective of the varying characteristics of the amps (I reckon I'm favouring the Rega, which while less 'exciting' just sounds more...

    Record cleaning

    Dear fellow vinyl heads On the thorny (is it thorny?) topic of record clearning.... I have built up a collection of around 1800-2000 records (lps, 12s, 7s) over the last 30 years (just turned 40), and there was a period in the dark digital days of the 90's where I am embarrased by how I...
