    Planar 2. Antiskate or not?

    Also, and not to make light of your question, if you bought it new from a reputable dealer two days ago, then you have the current one. These tables sell like hotcakes and the idea of somehow a brand new one that predates two years doesn't fit the scenario. As a former Rega dealer in the U.S. I...

    Question Looking to buy a speaker for my future turntable

    I must say, I have never in 45 years in the hobby & the business, ever heard that question. You don't mention a budget, though. $400/pair, 1K/pair, 1.5K? There are so many options that would suit your needs, which I'd say are pretty much everyone's needs, they can't be counted without knowing...

    The belt of my Pro-ject Audio Primary E seems to be faulty

    I would think that it's the dealer's fault if it had been a demo and didn't tell you. It's a warranty issue anyway; the dealer can just give you a new belt. I'm sure he stocks them, and they're worth approximately $11.00 in the U.S.

    What are your thoughts on music NFTs?

    I guess this proves my generation. Selling an electronic fart for $85.00, while being great for the farter, it seems like the fartee has effectively just handed over eighty-five quid for nothing, I'm obviously missing something - please tell me what? It's always a shame to lose out on a good fart.

    Turntable / BT receiver

    Having sold both brands in the store I was fortunate enough to own for a number of years I have a handle on how many "unblind" tests will support the Rega, as well as how many of which come back with defects or complaints. Personally, I wouldn't own either one, but I had to have one or the other...

    Turntable / BT receiver

    I think you answered your own question, and we totally agree. The Rega P2 will sound much better than the Proj-ect, and sound is indeed what we buy all this gear for, no?

    which speakers (triangle or klipsch) with nad C316 BE v2

    That is absolutely the best, most failsafe idea. Finding a Klipsch dealer should easy, but the odds of that dealer also carrying Triangle's are as slim as a sheet of paper. Buying audio used to be so much fun; now it's truly hit or miss for most things.

    4 speakers?

    My 1st question would be "Why do you have this setup at all?" If it's for being able to slip from room to room and still hear what you're playing I suppose it would work. But seriously, the whole thing should sound best with one pair in one room. Full stop.

    which speakers (triangle or klipsch) with nad C316 BE v2

    Based on actual experience, I would recommend the Klipsch RP-600M - and I'm not even a Klipsch fan of note. The pairing just 'works'.
