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.)

You were being ironic, weren't you?

Not at all. I pay attention (and money) to things that matter. In this case, cartridge and phono stage. But I'm funny that way.

The caveat is that the TT does the basic things correctly. Speed...w&f etc.

Omg, water pressure in a shower is so important. I worker in Japan for decades. You want to get a great shower? Go to Japan… anywhere! One of life’s greatest pleasures. Turntables also. 

@secretguy - that's a big caveat, and are forgetting about the tonearm. Some TT experts think that is the most important. I put it equal to the cartridge/phono stage. When you were saying turntables are the least important, I was talking about the whole analogue front end.

so you recommend Thorens undoubtedly because YOU OWN a Thorens....hardly an objective endorsement that inspires confidence.  I wonder if you can actually explain why in a meaningful way.
