Anyone using a Ringmat platter mat with a Rega? If so has it had any effect on the sound quality?
I got my AT 440mla last Saturday. Opened a beer, broke out my Shure tracking force gauge, the Traveler's included protractor, my mirrored protractor and the magnifying glass. An hour maybe, and I was in business. Within the week, I'm 21 full albums deep.
Quite obsessing and get to enjoying it already.
i just saw a stunning copper mat, at 1mm thick. Is that worth picking up?
How important is it to have a "dent" for the label on the platter? With these newer 180 gram records it's usually thicker at the label part after all...
For under $200, I definitely look into U-Turn Audio's Orbit turntable.
That is true. I don't know of any sub $200 turntables outside of the U.S. I'm assuming they exist. Can anyone enlighten me?It is the only choice for the decent new TT under $200 - if you live in the US.

HOw do you guys connect AMPs and DACs to a turntable. As for the turntable I got I just went to the Guitar Center here in vegas and got the cheapest one for $151 which was the Numark TTUSB. Looked it up here when I got home after I bought it you guys didn't talk about it much. While I was looking it up I saw a thing called preamps do turntables need a different kind of amp that the regular amp the the Magni 2 from Schiit? Sorry for the newbie questions I'm new to all this.
Yes you'll need a pre-amp to bring the phono signal coming out of your turntable onto line signal. Schiit has a phono preamp. (But i'm sure others in this thread know of better alternatives)
Turntable -> phono preamp -> amp -> speakers/headphone
Also, why connect a DAC to a turntable? There's nothing digital coming out of the tunrtable...
