Thanks. Will keep an eye out.

Thanks. It seems to me indeed that the Fono is intended for amps without built-in phonostage, or at least to bring the Rega sound to other setups.. What would you think are interesting cartridges to consider around the Elys 2 price range? (200 euros here in NL). What I currently have is a bit...

Thanks AI ears, that's quite clear. I do not notice much overall pitch change, but will try to pay attention to this. Do you know if the native RP3 motor also more liable to have unsteady speed, as in speeding up+slowing down cyclically (is there an industry term for this)? I don't detect this...

If the PSU has no impact on sound, what is it then for?

Hi all, Via second-hand conduits I recently find myself in possession of and (generally enjoying) a Rega-based set with the 2017 Brio, RP3 that came bundled with Elys2, Fono mk2 stage, and a TT PSU. They feed a pair of Q Acoustics 3050's that I got at a good price (had previously an enjoyable...

Thanks. Incidentally I've done this, got a good condition RP3+Elys2 bundled with the Rega PSU and Fono mk2 stage. I ran across a good deal after already upgrading the rest of the system. Which is now a second-hand Rega Brio, with Rega DAC, and Bluesound Node N100 for Tidal... super happy...

1k strawberries.. if I was referring to any scandinavian krona then I wouldn't even be asking this question :) Is there any reason why this amp is so unknown? Hegel in general seems to be quite niche.

I have auditioned it in shop, and I probably will try it at home as well. However my experience with various amplifiers is very limited so I want to know what others think. The Hegel H1 mk4 was normally going for about 2k and is marked down to 1k. It's a former demonstration version.

I can't find too many authoritative reviews on this one, which I have discovered at a local shop for a good knockdown price. Curious what the trained ears on this forum might say of it in comparison to others at its price point. It would be driving some old Jamo D series for the time being...

Hello all, I built up a system from used parts in recent years and I am looking for advice on how to take it further, not necessarily only as a one-time overhaul, but also a strategic build up to allow for exciting options in the future. I am currently using components which I simply cannot...
