Hi. It's my first post here, so "hello". I'm looking for the one single component in my system to upgrade. It isn't bad overall, but I guess I'm looking for a sound that's got a bit more attack , that's a bit more engaging, that would have more clarity. Current setup is Mega P8 with Ania...

Hey guys, I have a old Rega P2 turntable with a Rotel RA05 amp playing through B&W S606 bookshelf speakers. I see there is a 2nd hand Rotel RA980BX available in my area which appear to be more powerful - would this be a better suited amp than what I currently have? Power and quality? Thank you...

Hi I'm after another Streamer. I have been using the WiiM mini (now given to my son) through my CXA81's internal DAC Optically connected . I thought the quality of sound very good even though it's so cheap! I only use Spotify. Not into Hi Res Audio, CD quality is fine for me. Been looking at...

Can I connect a Rega P1 directly to a NAD 3030 amp ?

I have the following set-up: 1. Rega Planar 3 turntable 2. Rega Brio R integrated amp 3. Rega RS 3 speakers - not the tallest ones. 4. Bluesound Node Room size- 200 sq ft- open from one side. I was told that I can improve the thump/thunk of the sound by getting a subwoofer and having it at low...

I am setting up a music system and am considering upgrading my amplifier (a Sony FM Stereo/FM-AM Receiver STR-DH130) This summer I purchased - B&W CM8 s2 speakers - Rega Planar 1 turntable - Rega Fono Mini A2D MM Phono Preamp (which I may not need with a new amp?) Any advice on whether to get...

Hi, I'm trying to choose between the Pro-Ject X2 (without balanced outputs) and the Rega Planar 6 (only between one of this turntables and new; nothing more and nothing in 2nd hand). At the moment i own the Sonus Faber Venere 3.0 and the amp is a Micromega IA-400 (that i probably will replace in...

hi there this will be my first post and I hope this is the right forum! I recently saw a listing for a ”barely used” Rega P8 with mounted Apheta 3 cartridge. Also included is a Rega Ios Reference Phono unit. I cant find much info on the Ios but it seems to have been regas top-of-the-line Phono...

Got a weird hum that I can’t figure out. Rega P6 with Ania Pro. Amp is Rega Osiris. I’ve scoured the forums and the only solution I’ve come up with is sitting the Aria MK3 on its side. Hum completely disappears. Obviously this isn’t optimal. Any suggestions? I do have a BDI audio cabinet on...

While running some tests with my Rega DAC (1. gen) and a Topping D10s, I noticed that while running the source directly to the Rega DAC's USB input the volume was fixed (which I prefer), but when running through the D10s to get Coaxial SPDIF out in 24/192, which the Rega does not support via...

Hello everyone, I was wondering if it's possible to plug a subwoofer to the Rega IO since there's no LFE or SUB output. And if yes which one do you recommend and how do you do it ? I 've heard many things using Y connector and so on but this is confusing to me, I'm still pretty new to this. My...

I just upgraded my 2005 Rega P3/Elys2 for a new Rega PL6 with the Ania Pro cartridge. Running it through a Vincent PHO-700 phono amp (MM/MC) and into a Naim Uniti Atom, and out of a pair of Rega RS5 speakers. I set the TT up, levelled it, balanced the tone arm, set VTF to 1.75g with the tonearm...

Hallo everyone, Just wanted to share my thoughts on my set up. I am currently running a Marantz PM 6006 uk with Dali Oberon speakers / qed reference xt cables which is be frankly quite nice. As my old turntable has gone out of service I am looking into purchasing / upgrading to a new one. As...

I've found a local shop which sells both LS50's (Meta and original version), but with the original version in an ex-demo pair for half the price of the new LS50 Meta . The guys told me, despite the marketing buzz, the difference in sound quality is not that significant, and becomes more...

Hello everyone. First post here. I’ve been wanting to upgrade my set-up for awhile now and finally have the means to do it. Came across a used Planar 3 with 230V AC synchronous motor, RB300 arm and Ortofon 2M red for sale at what seems like a decent price ($550). It’s at least 16 years old...

So here I am trying to decide whether to build up an old P3 or go for a vintage Thorens TD166 mkII (£200 no cartridge). Firstly, I know nothing about the Thorens range. I've seen TD150, TD160, Super, TD166, TD316. Could anyone shed some light over that's best to avoid and what can be considered...

Hi All Can someone please give me some recommendations on a High Output MC cartridge please. Upto £400 I'm currently running an Ortofon 2m Bronze. And want to try a MC cartridge. Set up is as follows. Rega P3 with Origin Live internal and External Rewire and Structural Modification Rega Neo...

Hi, I am a new member to the forum living in Melbourne Australia, hoping to get some advice As heading into a repair shop is a bit tricky these days. I recently noticed when playing with the balance the right channel is quieter than the left. I am not sure how long it has been going on for or...

Hi guys :) So I have the Planar 1 from Rega. With my speakers turned on I can hear a buzzing sound, and I have figured that it might be because I don't have ground connection. I've spoken with the man from my local Hi-Fi-store and he told me the same thing. The problem is that i really can't...

I am looking to upgrade a 20-year-old Project 2 turntable with Ortofon 2M Blue, using Marantz PM 6010 OSE amp and Monitor Audio Bronze B2 speakers. I’m torn between either Project X2/Classic Evo and Rega Plannar 3/6 and having thought I’d get a Project, I’m now veering towards the Plannar 6...
