One caveat with Rega tables is there’s not much flexibility with the VTA adjustment. You need to buy Rega spacers to help with VTA.
It’s safe to stick with a Rega cartridge but you can try and see if any good MC will fit. It’s important to match the cartridge to the arm. I’d give Upscale Audio a call to see what they usually mount on that table.
1st cartridge upgrade on 1st TT
Hey everyone,
I am looking to upgrade my 1st cartridge on my 1st TT.
A few years ago, I got into vinyl with a Rega RP8. Left it completely stock and just enjoyed the vinyl experience. Read and learned a lot. Still lots to learn!
I had been pondering an upgrade to a MM cartridge for a while.
The stock Exact cartridge got damaged during a recent move. Guess it's time to stop pondering and find a replacement.
Any RP 8 owners have suggestions?
Listening to mostly classical and jazz.
Not sure what to budget for this. Perhaps up to around $1k.
Thanks!
