Ordered a Rega RP3

[spockfish]

Finally I ordered myself a Rega RP3 with the Elys 2 cartridge in 'Cool Grey'. Can't wait, but my dealer said that currently Rega's turntables sell like crazy.

Oh well, those last weeks I'll survive

 

[stevebrock]

Lovely I'm gonna order mine soon with Elys 2 as well but in White!

What is the lead time? Did you dealer confirm when delivery is?

 

[spockfish]

He told me that the RP1 is very difficult to get (importer for benelux was all out), and for the RP3 he didn't know.

Maybe one week

 

[stevebrock]

Think I'm gonna get mine with an Ortfofon 2m Red as heard to better than the Elys 2 and you can also replace the stylus on the Ortofon

 

[Hi-FiOutlaw]

Good choice!!!

I wanted mine in white as well but my dealer only had in dark grey to deliver, maybe next year i will upgrade mine with a TTPSU and a white gloss plinth... Oooooh

don't you guys forget about the photos!

:cheers:

Nice TT and good choice of colour, too.

Nope. My dealer called me today to inform me that "building was completed, now it needs to be tested and shipped"

Big smile there. The idea that I bought someting that is put together largely by skilled people in stead of a big automated process gives it the additional 'feel' of buying something special

 

[spockfish]

Yessssss!!!

It has arrived. Setting it up took some time, but now I'm listening to Pearl Jam's Ten Remastered 180 gram,s....

Big smile

Grrrrrr................still waiting for my white RP3 with Ortofon Red 2M - should be any day now!

I love vinyl, I too am buying it like crazy......all second hand....only bought one new LP Adele - 21. I get the odd LP thats full of pops n' crackles but mainly they all sound lovely.

I Still listen to my Rega DAC though and both sources - digital & analouge sound superb!

Seems we all have very similar systems albeit different speakers!!

 

[stevebrock]

Spockfish,

What do you think of the Chord Odyssey 2? I have been demoing some Graham Slee Spatia for the last few weeks, i swapped back to my SilverScreen and guess what - the Chord sounded better too me - just wondering if a the Odyssey 2 is a measurable upgrade from the SilverScreen.

Thanks

My Rega dealer has a cleaning machine from Clearaudio, and man, is night and day difference in sound quality, all the static and almoust all the pops go away! And i pay 3,5 € per record with a new inner sleeve of hight quality, from mofi.

The only new albums that i've bought are from Diana Krall.

[stevebrock]

My nearest decent hifi shop (Cymbiosis) has this service too and they give you a new anti static sleeve so I am going to et some cleaned!

What Diana Krall album did you get?

Doing All Right ( this was a christmas gift from my wife, this record as a bad sound quality, compared to the other albums)

and

The Very Best Of ( this is a hight sound quality album)

The next ones i'm going to get from Diana Krall are, All For You and when I Look Into Your Eyes from ORG.

I have both. The Odyssey is clearly a better cable than the SilverScreen, but not chasms. The odyssey produces a cleaner midrange and a springy or lively treble; the bass is bigger but tighter.

Hi,

To be honest: I really don't know of course the best answer would be that you should listen them both. At least for me the Silverscreen seemed to be a little bit too bright.

 

[Hi-FiOutlaw]

Here it is:

Nice !!! 8)

Now, tell me, you're listening almoust as I am, have you played the same track on the SBT and the RP3...?

If yes, what are your findings...? :twisted:

Here it is:

Oooo... nice. I am so tempted by the RP6...

 

[stevebrock]

Would love an RP6 - seriously nice turntable that!

Isn't the RP3 and 6 identical in looks?

 

[stevebrock]

No the Rp6 has a gloss plinth and aluminium brace

 

[stevebrock]

YES YES YES!!!!

My white RP3 has arrived I cant collect it until wednesaday though...........so excited!

However I have gone for the Elys 2 cartridge now as apparently you have to have the dust lid open with the 2M red!

Spockfish - How are you getting on with yours - does ot sound good?
