i have the Rega RP1 performance pack with the  Rega Bias 2 cartridge. The problem with ground is that although Rega tells that the grounding cable is integrated with the power plug ( so it doesnt have an extra cord ) it still  needs grounding.  Someone suggested that i should take a wire and...

Hello guys,   Always great to return to this forum , best one by far!   Ok so i had a discussion when i first came into this forum about what cans i should buy. Ended up purchasing the Beyers DT880 (250ohm) and i am driving them with my cheap but good ( Ocean Bravo tub amp) which i am...
