FWIW: Rega is a proponent of low-mass design TTs. If you go with the P10, make absolutely certain you have something rock solid to place it on, with or without isolation platform. For that matter, with your system, any TT should have a rock-solid supporting surface, especially if you like rocking down the house every now & then.
New Turntable
Hi All,
I’m considering a new turntable for a system based around Classe Delta separates and Focal Utopia speakers. I’ve narrowed my choices down to a few models:
- Luxman P151 MK II Centennial Edition
- Luxman P191A
- Clearaudio Ovation or Innovation
- Rega P10
And looking for any feedback folks have on sound, value, ease of use, etc. I need to decide if I want to try to snag an individual centennial edition from Luxman while I can or get the entire set. I don’t have a ton of turntable experience, so as fuss-free of an experience as possible is desired. When I spoke to dealers they considered these options pretty low-maintenance and I should not be concerned there, though they did mention that Rega is about as set it and forget it as can be. I will need a dust cover and as far as I can tell all of these have that option available.
One thing that concerns me about Clearaudio is the age of the models and the almost 50% increase in price of the product lifetime of the Ovation. If it was still around 8K it would be an obvious front-runner for me.
Please don’t respond with other brands. There is an overwhelming amount of choice out there and I’ve worked pretty hard to get to a short list already. An example I had, but removed was Goldnote Mediterraneo as it would be not regularly demoed and is available special order only.
