Turntables

If DD is of interest the STST Motus DQ might be worth researching. Yes more than a P10. Also great with a Kuzma 4pt or Primary Control Arrow arm but still very good with a Groovemaster III for example.

Disclosure: I represent STST :)

If you have a sturdy and nonresonant shelf or base for it, Rega P10 is just fine. Go for it.

Of coarse Rega sells their own wall shelf as well.

I've not heard the 10, only the 8.

It was easily amongst the best turntables I have heard.

By that I mean to say that if someone had told me that I was listening to a reel to reel tape deck I would not have been surprised.

Virtually no surface noise, stable image, rock solid timing, and a feeling of assurance rare in turntable replay.

Perhaps, and it's only perhaps, there could have been even more bandwidth and a deeper bass.

The only other area I've heard anything significantly better was in image size and depth, but that system featured entirely different amps, speakers and room, so who knows?

Anyway, it completely transformed my opinions of the Rega P8. 

Perhaps, sometimes less is more?

I have a P8 - it is an excellent turntable for the money and as with all Rega's isn't something you can upgrade as easily as other brands (VTI, Linn, etc.).  I expect the P10 is an upgrade specifically because of the tone arm.

I chose the P8 over a Linn because it meant I'd have to replace the table if I wanted to upgrade anything beyond the cartridge and phone stage. 

I know myself and frankly bought it to enjoy the several hundred LPs I have and recognize my analog system is used 10% of the time and is more about the engagement.  My digital and analog sources are approximately equal in sound quality.
