´Before you buy the Rega on the shelf listen to what else the same money spins´ they say. <br>Good advice as the real test is letting your own ears judge playing something from your music collection . Then, if you can, ask the hi fi shop assistant to let you hear a record deck that cost less, or the same or even slightly more than the Rega deck you are think of purchasing. Then you will see why Rega is successful. I own a Rega Planar 3, a vintage Thorens deck and a vintage Technics deck.

I still have my 1982 Planar 3 with acos lustre arm. Original motor, only belt changed. Handles the Grace F9E with aplomb. Beethoven 1st piano creates "string of pearls" arpeggios even with the Ortofon Blue.

USA exchange rate?? The RBxxx arms are the best bit of Rega.

I'll stick with my SOTA Sapphire<br>that I purchased in the 1980s with a Goldman methacrylate platter and matching record weight, Graham 2.2 arm and Koetsu Black Goldine all resting on a Mission Isolation Platform. My system synergy is as good as I could possibly hope for and people who have listened are staggered by the sound of vinyl in my listening room

It seems you are paying for the tonearm with a Rega. Yeah, the "Carbon" is an OK lower line Audio Technica.
@andy3974 · 1 month ago
These are better except for the arm. That's what the bot says. It's as if a quality tonearm isn't important. I know better but people put Hana carts on Fluance arms.

If you're paying that much for a record player paying too much isn't an issue
@paullammiman2540 · 1 month ago
The rega is built to extract as much info , the head shell is fixed to reduce loss of info the removable head shell doesn't. Are you serious in stating that at turntable sound better and the pitch is better? Come on. It's exactly false statements like yours that encourages all these extra sales to people who don't know, don't understand what you are saying is wrong. Then they go and buy coloured records and pictures discs unaware how bad these sound because the AT turntable just can't tell them. I would not sleep if I was doing these videos to the world. I hope you get paid well by AT. I stopped watching after you tried to say AT 60 is better than the rega. My coffee cup is better than the rega as it hold my coffee perfectly. Know what I mean?
