    Rega Elicit-R?

    Ordered the Elicit-R today should have it within a week :) Listened to it along side the Elex-R and a Naim XS2 and to me the Elicit sounded that bit more powerfull, dynamic and fuller in the bass than the Elex. The Naim was also impressive but just felt I could have listened to the Elicit all...

    Good to hear you got your problems ironed out with your Elicit-R and that your still enjoying it Steve :) For a moment there I thought you'd got rid and bought an Icon Audio ST40 valve amp and Gyrodec!

    Rega Elicit R - Happy

    I've just skimmed through this thread and am extremely confused to say the least! Steve you still own an Elicit-R and have done since at least early July 2014 that I know of, along with a white RP6 turntable, Nagaoka MP200 cart and RS3 speakers. Pictures of which you've shared on Facebook...

    Thanks for the swift reply, sounds like good advice. I've already listened to the Elex-R at the same time as the Elicit-R and think I'd rather shell out the extra for the Elicit. The Elex was very good but just sounded a bit light next to the fuller sounding Elicit. Maybe should check out some...

    What is the sweet spot expenditure on turntables?

    The sweet spot for me was around £1000 or just over. I bought a Rega RP6 and at the same time listened to an RP8 at twice the price which sounded nothing like twice as good!

    Adding Rega DAC-R or Chord Hugo DAC to Rega Apollo-R

    I've can also recomend the Rega DAC-R very highly, it goes superb with the apollo r. I've had a lengthy listen to it at my local dealers recently through an elicit r and it sounded amazing. I'll be looking into getting this combo myself at a later date.

    Rega Elicit-R?

    Hi all, This is my first post on here! I'm currently looking into changing my old Marantz amp for a Rega Elicit-R to go with my recently purchaced RP6 turntable and RS1 speakers. I've had a brief listen at my local dealer and was very impressed. However I'm pretty sure I've read on here some...
