Rega P3-24 and Exact 2.....Enjoying the music


Just a quick update.....I've been enjoying my new analog front end for just over three months now, and I'm extremely happy with how my records are sounding. I've gotten through a large part of my jazz collection on the new Rega P3-24/Exact 2, and the music sounds really, really good. I did my first "upgrade" about three weeks ago, switching out the Rega felt mat for a Herbie's Way Excellent II mat, and I'm pretty impressed with the seemingly increased clarity and focus. I'm toying with the idea of dfferent isolation techniques as a next step.

My personal "analog renaissance" is quite rewarding, and I'm really grateful to all of you guys for all I've been learning on this forum. Thanks a lot, and Happy Listening !!

Hey Gmsasso......I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying your set-up. I never heard the Elys II, as I went straight to the Exact 2. This combination works wonderfully for me, and, no, I have not tried any other cartridges, nor am I planning on any other cartridges any time soon.

Your DIY isolation platform seems pretty cool. Are the brass cones under the maple shelf, or under the TT plinth ? If they're under the maple, I'm assuming that the original Rega feet are still under the plinth. Where did ya' get the brass cones and maple shelf ?

What's the rest of your system ? Happy Listening !!
