Pure Fidelity / Rega

 I’ve demoed both thr NAIA and p10.  They have a similar sound.

Very upper mid range forward.  I found both of them brittle and rather abrasive and thin. They are lively but zero weight or body.
Both powered by expensive Naim amps.  
Both ran cartridges installed by Rega.  The NAIA had the top of the line cartridge from Rega.  Can’t remember the name. 

I own the Pure Fidelity Harmony Mark II with the Savant tone arm.  
The Pure Fidelity is a blend of the playfulness of a VPI Avenger with the weight of a Dr Feickert.  I demoed all 3 with the same amps, same room and moved the same cartridge between tables.  

I would go with the Pure Fidelity table.   It’s also much better looking than a Rega…especially in the quilted maple. 

 

My phonostage is a Line Magnetic LP-33.

I like some warmth and some bloom in my sound. I don’t like super detailed…I want just enough detail. The LP-33 provides me that sound. And it’s only like $2k.

i use it with the Line Magnetic 805ia integrated.
This combo with my Devore o/93s creates a beautifully rich and holographic sound.
The treble is on the softer side, which is my preference

I’ve demoed 150k+ systems with Magico, CH Precision and Kuzma table with a 4Point9 tonearm…which left me cold and wanting to scoop the glass out of my ears.  Too much damn detail. If this is the type of sound you like,,,you probably won’t like the LP-33.
