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.)

I had one and thought it was great and the best TT at the price. The only problems I had with it were (1) as mijostyn points out, it was susceptible to footfalls in my vintage home with springy floors, and (2) the dust cover was rather flimsy. I solved both problems with a Townshend Seismic Sink and a matching acrylic dust cover that covers everything. Kept it for several years until the Apheta cartridge stylus wore out.

Ultimately, I sold it to upgrade to an SME but I still have the Townshend and the dust cover if you or anyone else it interested. Works great with the P10 or any Rega. Let me know. Can send pics.
