You would be disappointed with the Rega. It would be a very big step backwards.
old AR XA with mods vs Rega RP1
Hi folks,
newbie here. Have old AR XA turntable with Underground Sound mods (sub-chassis and springs from a long time ago) plus Rega RB 250 tone arm from 1988 (wow, I found the receipt). Sumiko Black Pearl cartridge from the 1990s. Turntable not used very much for the past 10 years, but I'm starting to play records again. Music Direct has a Rega Union Jack table RP1 with Rega Bias cartridge. Is there any question that this is better than what I'm using?
thanks for the advice, opinions and leads for what to read to become more enlightened. cheers, John
