| Rhea Signature vs. ARC PH-7 I used to own an ARC PH-7 for several months. My friend brought over a RHEA Signature to compare with the PH-7. I liked the RHEA better in my system. Then I borrowed an ASR Basis Exclusive to compare with the PH-7. I liked the ASR the most. I rank... | |
| REL T7 Subwoofer Thank you all for sharing. I will pass the message to my friend. I think the REL T7 will do fine. But I need to warn him about the sub bouncing (walking) around on tile floor.Tonyangel,I also heard that some subs do bounce (walk) around when drive... | |

Just weigh between trade-in value and retip cost. But if you really like to have a backup in the future. then retip is the ... | |
| hissing sibilants It happens to all recordings that you play? Some recordings are bad and inherently have lots of sibilants. Try the recording you know that doesn't have it and confirm if the problem still exists. Otherwise, the VTA could be too high (tonearm tail ... | |
| TT stopping in midstream of playback? Perplexed. I feel bad about your experience. I am an analog diehard for over 20 years and have owned a few turntables. However, I have never had any experience remotely related to yours. All the tables I owned and the one I still own never stops during music... | |
