Want to add vinyl to my system.


Hello all, 

I have an all digital system with a Lumin x1 streamer, Oppo 203, B&W speakers, Classe Sigma SSP, and Mac 611’s.  I want to now add vinyl into my system abd need a new turntable and phono stage.  I have been considering the Rega 8 or 10.  What do you think of the Rega’s, and which phono stage would you recommend?

Clearly you have money to burn.  Lots of it.

Rega is a great choice as a "plug-n-play" deck, especially if you get a Rega cartrdige.  Their arms are engineered to work with their cartridges.  Anyone else's cartridge may take some serious work to get right on a Rega arm.  The Rega arm has no vertical adjustment, so to raise it up, you have to pull the arm off the table and use shims.  OK for your dealer, but you sure don't want to go there yourself. 

Installing a cartridge on my tables is something of a pain anyway.  Rega cartridges have a unique 3 point mount, which along with the fact that the Rega arms and cartridges are engineered to work together, makes installing a Rega cartridge on a Rega arm the easiest thing there is. 

Just plan on using a Rega cartridge on that Rega table.
