@jimmy225. Thanks for the recommendation. Two questions. How does the VPI Scout compare to the Mobile Fidelity, Technics or Rega Planar 6 in your opinion. And if I start pushing the budget up a bit, do you have any thoughts on the Rega Planar 8?
Turntable Advice Needed
I am looking to move my existing Rega RP3 to a secondary system and upgrade to a new turntable for my primary system. Current setup is a Plinius Hiato integrated with Dynaudio Contour 3.4 speakers. I stream via an Innuous Zenith server and a Lumin T2 streamer. I am extremely happy with the sound I am getting from this setup but think a turntable upgrade might be in order. Since I’ve had the Rega P1 and P3 my first thought was to just upgrade to the new P6. As I know nothing about the “sound” of different turntables I really don’t know what I might be missing. I’m not a big tweaker but just want something that sounds good. Spending range is probably in the $1,500 -$2,500 range and I will also need a phono preamp. I can be persuaded to spend a bit more but am looking for the best sound/value ratio I can find. I’ve read in some threads that Rega lacks a bit in bass but I really don’t have anything to compare it to.
I would very much appreciate any thoughts/advice folks might be willing to share.
Many thanks

Technics SL1200GR ? Do yourself a favour son & by yourself a real turntable.Used Oracle Delphi's are going for a song. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/333417045503 https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649573125-oracle-delphi-mk-i-with-audioquest-arm/ Later on you can replace the arm if you like with something more esoteric (used A.C.T., Graham, Zeta, or a modified Rega, ect, ect), the variations are endless. And buy a spare belt that you can change in 20 years. Enjoy the music. |
