Turntables

Hey all! I've been circling a Rega P10 turntable, which is their latest iteration. It has gotten great reviews by Rega afficionados, but not much notice from the TT community at large, that I can find. It's a deviation from the conventional thinking that mass=stability, and quiet. It is very lightweight, but stiff. I like unconventional, and am willing to take a leap, though. Question is, of course, has anyone had any experience with these TT's and what thoughts do you have? (Michael Fremer at Analog Planet did a 5 part video of the Rega factory with Roy Gandy a couple of years ago and I have to say I was really impressed by his devotion to his art and his conviction about the direction Rega has taken with its TT's.)

In my experience, the lightweight design of the P10 conveys music with pace and reproduces rhythms well. Compared to high-mass turntables, the P10 perhaps has a tone quality that is not quite as full or as warm.

I've heard a P10 with a Hana ML cartridge and really liked that combination. The Hana cartridge seemed to add a bit of warmth compared to the Rega MC cartridges.
