thanks for the advice people, a lot to think about, and good feedback, appreciated. will update when I decide what to do. one thing, would it be difficult to turn my current player(Arcam) into a transport and then acquire a dac out, and what sort of difference would I expect to hear.

Just putting the feelers out on a new topic for me. 4 to 500 notes to spend on a new CD player. Read reviews and take into consideration magazine views and opinions, but what do the masses think. currently running an Arcam Alpha++, well looked after, paired with Linn amp and Linn speakers...

Thanks to all that have followed and have give good advise, contacted shop where both purchases were made and they have agreed to carry out some tests themselves, also I ground the phono plugs and hum went away and bass is tight now. One more thing, having listened to a few albums now, ears have...

Not at all, very pleased with Rega, maybe just a bit miffed as it was meant to be an upgrade and although sensual perception is good, e.g. Stereo imagery is good and top end is good, just need to tighten up the bass.

Original cartridge was Rega Carbon, I will try grounding the arm via the one of the phono plugs next, if this works, I will get back to Rega to request a new arm as I have read some arms are not quality controlled properly, as they run the ground through the tone arm.

Cartridge changed(moving magnet), belt & TT mat. Cartridge lined up with template provided, imagery is better but bottom end sounds woolly and concerned that when the base (turntable) is tapped it resonates through the speakers only when vinyl is playing.

Just upgraded my rp1 with performance pack, seem to have ground issues on the TT. has anyone experienced the same issues, sound is very bass orientated and the TT becomes live(I can tap the TT and it transmits through the deck).
