That's the one....absolutely. :yes:

Rega P10...

Thanks all. The Technics is intriguing - I will check it out carefully. Certainly iconic.

Yes, a great option.

With the stock Apheta 3 cart, better than my Michell Gyro SE MKII with SME V (no slouch when it comes to arms) and Koetsu Urushi Vermilion M/C cart AND... at approximately 1/2 the price. Also...simpler, and thus more reliable.

The amount of detail a P10 extracts from the record grooves is absolutely astonshing. And, like all Regas, it's simple to set up, it WORKS, and it NEVER breaks. :thumbsup:

I can see why Harley Lovegrove decided to go with one. If I were shopping for TT, that's what I would do. Job done.

Rega dealer too! ;)

There ya go! Job done! :thumbsup:

Harley Lovegrove's vids on the Rega P10.

Harley, as a recording engineer, knows a thing or two about this...

The Rega P10 I had in house for review. LOVED it...OMG.

A buddy of mine in Oklahoma City has the exact turntable and cartridge (even the same color). It sounds wonderful!

Thanks all - all great options. I was looking at the Rega 8, did not think the 10 was in-budget. Lots to ponder. The VPI is beautiful but might be slightly massive for our set-up.

Here is an in-depth review:

Ivan can help you on the Rega. If you are certain you will stay with an MM the P6 would fit the bill. If you want to step-up to an MC, then the P8, and, especially the P10, would be the way to go.
