turntable

Hello, I'm an amateur Hi-Fi enthusiast and I've owned a turntable for the past 5 years. Right now I am using a Sony PS-T22 direct drive turntable. I bought it refurbished with a QLM 30 MK III stylus. I am looking for something that will sound a bit better as I know that my speakers are capable...

A friend of mine who has zero equipment has asked me to set him up with a record player system for £1000 but I am getting conflicting opinions on how best to spend the money. One is to spend £500 on a turntable make it the star and then £250 a piece on amp and speakers but other people are...

I just upgraded my 2005 Rega P3/Elys2 for a new Rega PL6 with the Ania Pro cartridge. Running it through a Vincent PHO-700 phono amp (MM/MC) and into a Naim Uniti Atom, and out of a pair of Rega RS5 speakers. I set the TT up, levelled it, balanced the tone arm, set VTF to 1.75g with the tonearm...

Hello everyone. First post here. I’ve been wanting to upgrade my set-up for awhile now and finally have the means to do it. Came across a used Planar 3 with 230V AC synchronous motor, RB300 arm and Ortofon 2M red for sale at what seems like a decent price ($550). It’s at least 16 years old...

My question is, can i get an AV receiver thats good with analogue sources, goes fairly loud and streams Amazon music HD in a single box? I have been set the task to simplify the set up in my lounge by my wife and kids. I have a Yamaha Aventage RX-A1070 receiver thats used for vision but the...

Hi! I'm new to What Hi-Fi, I currently have a basic turntable and speaker set up. (AT-LP60 and some Edifier speakers.) I am looking at getting a better turntable in the future and am set on a Rega Planar 2. To accompany this new turntable, I am looking at buying the Onkya - 9010 amplifier...

Hello! First of all, I'd like to congratulate for this website and forum, I'm getting lots of useful info from them. Of course, this is the umpteenth request for an advice. What a surprise, uh? Please let me give you a little background. I was (actually, still am) the happy owner of a JVC...

Hi, I am a new member to the forum living in Melbourne Australia, hoping to get some advice As heading into a repair shop is a bit tricky these days. I recently noticed when playing with the balance the right channel is quieter than the left. I am not sure how long it has been going on for or...

Hello, Pretty much everything I've read has said that the Rega Planar 2 or 3 and the Pro-ject debut carbon and X1 are the best new turntables for under $1000, Is it possible to break down the key differences between the 4 and is there a model amongst the two companies I should consider that I'm...

I am looking to upgrade a 20-year-old Project 2 turntable with Ortofon 2M Blue, using Marantz PM 6010 OSE amp and Monitor Audio Bronze B2 speakers. I’m torn between either Project X2/Classic Evo and Rega Plannar 3/6 and having thought I’d get a Project, I’m now veering towards the Plannar 6...

Hello, I just purchased the Pro-Ject T1 white turntable. It’s my first one. I’m looking for active speakers with an in-built phono stage, so that I don’t require any more components. Do you know of any speakers like this? Ideally in white and reasonably priced? Thank you!

Hi everyone. I figured this would be a good place to get some turntable advice, so here I am. I have a few questions, and as this might get a bit confusing, I'm going to try and break it out: 1. I have a ProJect Essential 1 - bought in 2011 - which I've since upgraded from an Ortofon 3E...
