The problem is unlikely to be the phono stage, naim 72 is a fine pre-amp.Hi
Thanks you all for the input.
Anyone got any feedback with the stageline v the rega phono. Not really into black boxes but.. but do they help with the sound....
The cart is properly aligned and I’ll increase the weight to 1.75g.
Thanks
I'm a records man myself but I've had to concede that a half-decent CD player can give more of the things you describe than even a good record player. On the other hand a good record player will have its own charms, but it might take a while to appreciate them. Also, Regas in my experience do tend towards a narrow soundstage - although shouldn't sound muddled, so might be set-up, as others have suggested. Or maybe a duff version of the album, and a good version of the CD?Hi All
Thank you.
I've got a rega wall rack, I'll get the drill out Saturday. The thing is level and at a weight of 1.70g.
Its sitting ontop of the cd5 ontop of a shitty Ikea little cabnet with the rest of the black boxes on the two shelves below....I know..
I'm using Dylans 'Tangled up in Blue' for sound comparison.
CD- Brighter, wider, sharper, clear, more depth/bass and faster, plently of jinlge jangle. One quater of the volume nob.
Rega- Calmer, not the depth more narrow more muddled but easier on the ear....Volume nob at midday
Theres just more with the cd.....cant be right?
