the given tracking weight is 1.75, and maybe worth trying to experiment with this. I'll try it in the coming days.

it's not so much that everything sounds softer, except for the vocals that sound more subdued than the rest of the music. I miss the details in the music. I had hoped to hear much more expression and detail, and that's what I miss now. I was actually quite happy with my old Dual 505-2, but...

Thanks for the advice, I will contact the dealer.

FYI: I bought the Rega P2 new, including the factory-installed Nd3 cartridge (available in the Netherlands).

I recently acquired a Rega P2 with Nd3 cartridge. Previously I had an old Dual cs-505-2 with Ortofon OM10 cartridge. After installing the Rega I have to say that the sound is rather disappointing compared to the Dual. Could it be due to the running-in time or is the Rega simply a lower quality...

Thanks, that's a good tip

dear hi-fi enthusiasts, I have another purchasing dilemma. I'm looking for a nice, not too expensive CD player to connect to my Rotel A14 mkII. Just to be able to play the old CDs again. It does not have to be super quality, but it must do justice to the Rotel amplifier. I have already done a...

Just an update: The decision has been made, I have made a choice. After much deliberation, I finally chose Rotel. And not for my original preferred model, the A12 MKII, but it became the Rotel A14 MKII. This one actually didn't appear in my lists due to budget concerns. But thanks to a great...

Well, then I think I've figured it out. I think it's time for the next step, namely making a listening appointment at a dealer. Now look for one that at least has the Arcam a5 in store and preferably also some other brands that I had on my list so that I also have some material for comparison...

thanks for your advice, but one more question; but if the Rotel is too bright, and the audio lab sounds too dry, how would you describe the sound of the Arcam a5?

I have now reduced my wish list to 3 items. -Audio lab 6000A -Rotel A12 MKII -Arcam A5 Does anyone else have any sound advice as to why I should prefer 1 of these 3 over the other 2?

Update: After some more searching I also came across the Audiolab 6000A. According to the reviews I have read, this should also fit very well with my B&W 606 S1. The audio lab would sound slightly less sharp and slightly smoother, which according to most here would suit the B&W better. What do...

thanks for the tip. But which of the four amplifiers mentioned above would you recommend (or not, of course)? Which amplifier is less clear and loud in the high tones and has a somewhat softer character?

NAD C350 or C3050?

Thanks for all your advice. At least I can now reduce my choice to a limited number of brands and models. One of the first suggestions was to look for a Rotel amplifier. So I looked for this and found the Rotel A12MKII. This amplifier really appealed to me. But a little later I was told here in...
