As mentioned in another post, I've been home demo'ing a Rega P2 (w/ Bias 2 cartridge) and have found the SQ to be very, very bass heavy with poor mid-range/top-end detail - eg cymbals and high hats are very faint. [:O] Initially suspected the phono amp, a Cambridge 640P, wasn't working well with the P2. Have sampled an alternative, a Rega 2000, which significantly tightened/focussed the bass and added loadsa separation and texture but did now't to improve detail or quell the subwoofer-style bass. [] I suspect the real issue is the P2 not complementing my amps and speakers, which were selected to give a warm vinyl-like sound when hooked up to my CDP. So, compared to the Rega P2, is there such a thing as a TT that's considered to be bright-sounding, which arguably errs too much toward mid-range and top-end detail? (Max budget is c. £400.) Ta []
