Rega Naia later this year


I hope I can remain happy with my P10 and resist this for a few years 

Anyone excited to get one?

Rega have a great thing going.  Using their design philosophy as justification, they can offer less and less (structure) for more and more $$$.  This reminds me of one definition of a "specialist", as a person who knows more and more about less and less until he knows everything about nothing.  All kidding aside, I am sure that the Naia will be a fine performing turntable, as is the P10.  However, given the information offered, it is impossible (for me at least) to say whether the Naia will be a better performer than the P10.  Do you see something here that answers that question for you?

It would be fun to compare.  I appreciated an improvement going from the RP10 to the P10.

They mention the new tonearm, ceramic hub, new feet along with new plinth material.  I may have missed some but I would expect those to offer an appreciable upgrade.  I like to buy used so will likely wait a few years and see how things are going with the Naia

Mijo, You are no doubt familiar with that definition of a "specialist".  I love it.

Me, too!  But even better when paired with the definition of a “generalist,” which is someone who knows less and less about more and more until he knows nothing about everything.

Man I don’t care I just love Rega and was excited to see a new top model on the market

My wife is a specialist and I'm a generalist. The older I get, the more I believe the above maxim to be correct.
