Ok Stephen !

I know very well the Bay area ( went there with my father about 20 times ! And had an aunt and cousins in San Jose ) but I'm sure that you will make me discover places I that I don't know.

If you have a chance to hear a complete top of the line Rega system ( Osiris / Isis / Ios / RS10 / and a P6 to P9 table with the Apheta - I listened to a P6- ), you will fall from your chair. It makes MUSIC like no other system I heard before.
So, Jérôme, would you get the Apheta cartridge as well?

Depends if the Rega system takes the place of my current system or if it goes in an other room. If it's in an other room, I would stick with digital at first. But if it replaces my main system, yes, I would replace the Exact with the Apheta.

I, too, am sold on the Rega sould. My hsitory goes like this: P5/Exact; P7/Dynavector DV20XH; P9/Lyra Delos. Only upgrade I have done are the 'white' belts.
