| Rega P5 Upgrade:TTPSU,Platter Or Subplatter? That would be no. The Music Hall only puts out 16vac and 120 vac. You need 24 volts. If you had an older P3 or P25 it would work great however. | |
| Rega Planar 3 Help/Advice Castrol Hypoy C oil is available at amazon. The smallest size is a quart.That would last you at least 100 years or so. But Amazon has it for $6.00 or so. Your other option would be to go to your car mechanic and see if he would let you have a coup... | |
| Rega Planar 3 Help/Advice Great advice Elizabeth but with one exception. Do not use motor oil. Rega specs call for 80/90 weight hypoid oil. That is the heavy oil that would be used in a cars differential or older manual transmissions. They specify to use only one or two dr... | |

| Why Upgrade the Rega Counterweight? I have an Nad 533 with an RB250 arm. I was very skeptical that changeing the counterweight could make any difference.Boy was I surprised when I installed a Michell Tecno Weight. The bass was tighter and had more slam. The overall tracking seemed t... | |
| Try a different turntable? I would go with a Rega P3-24 with ttpsu or a Rega P5 withThe optional psu. It is hard to beat the British at what they do best. Smaller components for their generaly smaller living spaces. In light of your impending move to asmaller home it is som... | |
| Phono cartridge for a Technics SL-1200 TT? I have an SL1200 MK2 and am currently using an Audio-TechnicaAT-OC9ML/mk2 and it sounds incredible. It is my first LOMC and I am quite impressed with it. I also have an Nagaoka MP-110 mm that sounds pretty decent and tracks well.A no brainer would... | |

| Help me pick a monitor Here are some older choices. Acoustic Energy AE1, AE2 and Platinum Solo,all designed by Phil Jones, who is also a bass player. They are not terribly efficient, but if you have a smallish room and/or listen in the nearfield they will definitly get ... | |

The SC25 has no remote. You should be able to pick up both pieces for 800 to 1000 dollars.Conrad Johnson is a... | |
| Best used speakers around 500 for clasic rock You might wan't to check out some British speakers like some of the older Mission 700 series. They were designed to be placed up against a wall. Maybe a couple of the Castle models that are currently on sale might work as well. They can also be pl... | |
| Good Amp for Spica TC-60 speakers under $1000 I used an Exposure XV integrated with my TC60's in a small room with excellent results. It is a 40WPC amp. It is about 10 years old now but if one pops up one the Gon for 5 or 600 dollars it is well worth a listen. |
