Current sensing phono stages w/Rega?
No worries, I get it trust me. I am sure it's something I could do if I could find time to focus on it for a couple of days and figure it all out. 3 kids, and a busy job in real estate give me barely enough time to listen let alone tinker. Part of... 
Current sensing phono stages w/Rega?
@lewm    You're making the assumption I a) have time to spend soldering and figuring out how to out think Roy Gandy's design.- I don't...And b) that my perception of this or any other piece of hifi I own is coveted- I don't.  But feel free to c... 
Current sensing phono stages w/Rega?
@lewm    thanks and yes I understand it’s possible, but I’d get a new Phono before I modify my tonearm. The real question is why doesn’t konus accomodate the wiring scheme of one of the most widely sold TT/TA brands in the world. I’d rather them...

Thanks..Which filter and where was it located in your chain?   @hleeid

Thanks, was just responding to your other post.    Did you just plug yours in with no hum?   
Kumza Stabi S or Rega P10 ??
Well here is a new and unexpected wrinkle in my time with the P10 so far as I audition phono stages. I have a Konus 1000 Phono stage in house to listen to (it’s wonderful), with my P10 it’s making a very undesirable, very audible hum to my speake... 
Current sensing phono stages w/Rega?
I have a Konus 1000 Phono stages (it’s wonderful), with a Rega P10 and it’s making a very undesirable, very audible hum to my speakers. This is mainly due to Regas old school ground wiring scheme. It will not be a simple easy fix, which is counter... 
First phono stage upgrade
@hleeid    What phono stage did you settle on? Did you get the Konus?   
What Class A is better? SUGDEN FPA-4 or PASS LABS XA-25
@mattmiller    Oh I don't know, just the inventor of the first Class A circuit design. If it weren't for Sugden, it's more like WHO IS PASS?    Some of the folks in this thread or clearly dropping in to be post what they are fan-boys of which ... 
Mat for Rega P10
When it comes to the P10 my suggestion is...Deal with the mat it comes with. It’s Merino wool so it’s not like they went the cheap route. I am not going to try and out-think Gandy on this one. Will a new mat make an impact? Probably...Will it be b...

@dbagstrick I have not cleaned them yet, but that is on my list of things for sure. trying to decide to just get a $200 set up or go big. I will keep this in mind though.   
Kumza Stabi S or Rega P10 ??
@dbagstrick  thank you, great advice. I am reserving judgement from now until I feel its run-in. I'd describe the table a neutral, compared to my last table anyway (Mofi Ultradeck) which had a warmer presentation overall. I do love the tone arm o... 
Kumza Stabi S or Rega P10 ??
I think was working through the break in with the cartridge, I underestimated that apparently. Things are sound superb. Table and Cart are a lovely combination so far. Warm, tight bass, smooth, and super detailed but delicately detailed.

Got the P10 with the Hana red, listened for a couple hours last night. I am borrowing a set of speakers (New Sim Audio monitors) while I await my Falcon Gold Badges. so everything I am thinking at this point may not be the turntable.    First im... 
Kumza Stabi S or Rega P10 ??
@pindac    Yeah I considered them, still open to them, but they solve one problem while creating some of their own unique issues. I am not in the camp of one being better than the other, I think both (belt & DD) have their own merits and dra...
