    Joe.

    You had me w/your discussion on cartridge set up😊.

    OTOH all these Rega fans, no mention of tone arm. My circa 80s Planar 3 sports the RB 300.

    Later this year, I’ll be in the market to upgrade a few things beginning w/the spindle* a new belt followed by this Ania cartridge you’re all raving about.

    Where is Joe?

    Joe is still around but a few people here didn't exactly make this place worthy of his time, so he moved on. His rig has changed completely but AFAIK, he is still running with the LP setup.

    That’s too bad. He has a lot of experience.

    I think he was active, at least for awhile on that other (abomination of a) forum that houses many that used to be here and some that still are.

    Last I heard from Joe, he had upgraded to a P6, but kept the Ania. He changed speakers as well...now has some Klipsch Cornwalls.

    Swapped in a Krell KPE and all is well. Wow this sounds amazing now. Took some playing around but it paid off.
