While we're on the subject of 'cheap-assed' turntables...

Got the wife's REGA RP6 up and running. This after the third and final motor controller. Must say, never a worry that the folks at Needle Doctor would come through.

Spinning disks at the correct speed now and sounding quite good, even without a wall to mount it on. JICO MM-1 cartridge seems a fair match for the new RB303 arm, but who knows?

More than good enough for spinning $1 thrift store finds or $30 45rpm re-issues.

Big question, how much money should an audiophile spend on tweaks for his wife's TT?

Not so sure those tweaks are for TT speed... - Ivan303 12:52:13 08/22/14 (0)

I really love my RP6. :^) - Travis 09:52:41 08/22/14 (11)

RP6 sounds pretty darned good for a $1500 TT... - Ivan303 12:59:19 08/22/14 (0)

Nope. The worst one, a really battered up Planar 2, was decent sounding. - Opus 33 1/3 12:45:57 08/22/14 (0)

How many would you own if you liked them? (nt) - Crazy Dave 11:18:17 08/22/14 (1)

Or, it took six to figure that out? /nt - Biff 13:10:07 08/22/14 (0)
