Did you ever listen to the Anthem? I'd be interested In the difference you noticed between the Rega and Anthem. No brick and mortar shops around me... I live vicariously through others!Best,Gary

Czarivey,Thanks for the input. I enjoy the 1200, and I think a few tweaks will keep me happy for awhile. The VTA is handy and I use it, something I forget about and take for granted. Regards,Gary
