nice lookin tables and i'm even happier to say i'm IN

 
Philips AF-677
replaced the needle and now its crystal clear :D only one question when it gets to the last songs (on the inside of the record) it begins to skip about a minute in (every record); is this a problem with cartridge alignment?

Try increasing the tracking force or reducing the antiskate

So I pounced on Elusive Disc's 15% sale and grabbed a Clearaudio Concept with MC cartridge, as well as a Clearaudio Basic Plus phono stage. I like my Rega P5 setup quite a bit, but I feel like I need to experience other tables to see what's out there. Will post photos when the new deck arrives!

Nice!  Think the Basic Plus will best the RSA?  

You know you want that Accu battery power supply.


I am wondering the same thing. You see a lot of the same platitudes rolled out for both units -- punches above its class, flexible enough to work with any cartridge, etc. -- but only time will tell. I grabbed the Basic Plus (demo unit, around $700 after discount) because I so love the idea of synergy. I'm hopeful.

And yes, the battery power supply did catch my eye... but after a new deck and pre plus a big stack of new vinyl (including the spendy new Who LP box), I need to get a hold of myself. :cool:

 Who you calling crippled?! Actually, when funds permit, I'll fabricate four 3" square Maple blocks, then screw in four brass footers (3x3") underneath.
