Wolfgarcia, every cartridge doesn't require an adjustment for the VTA. For reasons unknown to me "Lyra" always seems to need that adjustment. Those tonearms in Rega are precise, meaning each and every one of them is identical; you could discover whether or not the cartridge will require that adjustment before you buy it.
Turntable Help
Hello,
I'm about to dive into the audio world (but with a teacher's salary), and was wondering if you could help me out. I had been looking at the Rega RP1 with the Performance Pack as a somewhat affordable option for my first ever turntable, but I recently realized that there is now the Planar 1 which replaced the RP1. The Planar 1 is as expensive as the RP1 w/P2 but doesn't have as good of a cartridge (so the interweb tells me). Should I buy the RP1 with performance pack or the new Planar 1 without one?
OR should I buy the new Planar 1 WITH a performance pack (upwards of $670 total as far as I can tell) or a Planar 2? This would be really stretching the budget but somewhat doable.
Also, what online store is the best for buying a Rega?
Thanks for your help.
