[jamesrfisher]

Just seen them, not sure if been mentioned before.

Details on the Rega site, tried to post link but rejected my post as 'spam'!

Well I must say that deck looks stunning, love the look of the platter and silver of the arm - is £2999 include the Apheta?

No doubt I will get to listen to one in the new year at my friendly local Rega dealer!

Not even suspended ...

Your right but thats how Gandy wants to make em'

Wonder how it compares to a gyrodec with the same arm?

Spending that sort of money of a deck you really would need to demo a few at home for a few days.

Dunno. It would be easy to say I'd rather have Michell sitting at home but without listening to both thats just un-educated preference.

Still, £3000 ...

Actually, in the greater scheme of hifi and having read through the Rega descripion again, you do get a fair amount of engineering and hardware with for the money. After all, there are cables that cost that much, Dac's ...

It's all relative.

I've obviously got to much time on my hands as you can see from my (to) numerous replies over the last few days.

Why he would want to made a suspended TT? That is not the filosiphy behind Rega TT at the present. Well Tempered Labs TT aren't suspended as well, so I don't have the knoledge to ask why their TT are not suspended, but I can understand a building filosophy of a certain brand. In audio is normal to have different concepts, and made them all work. Tweeters for exemple, you have ribon, metal domes, soft silk domes, horns and others. And all work...

Whoosh that's a lot of cash. It's a good sign that that they perceive there is a market-opportunity at that price-point, big enough to invest in the tooling required to make something different that isn't just cobbled together from the most expensive parts already in the Rega parts-bin.

This article has 6 month...

and there will be a Naiad TT is is the hight point of Rega research, it will cost a small fortune...

no mention of the Apheta. Looking at the pics, the box on the right has a middle button which I don't think the Apheta has (luckily you can give us the expert view Steve). Think the box is the RP10 power supply.

OMFG £3000 without a cart

We love the sound of the RP8 - so we're really looking forward to this!

Michell counterweight for my RP6 from Santa not forgetting an Aria phono

 

[drummerman]

Ah ok, Thanks

I bought a P9 in preference to mitchell, and a lot of other decks. I believe the 9 was £2.5 k for the last few years, so its not a huge price increase.

Funny that I demoed a Gyrodec with Tecnoarm and there wasnt a lot in it compared to my RP6

Steve, have you detected an improvement since fitting the Michell C/W? I was considering one of those Isokinetik jobbies for my RB300, but wondered about their effectiveness.

It was a xmas pressie, I haven't got round to fitting it yet but will report back soon

I added an Isokinetic platform under my RP6 and am still considering the Groovetracer subplatter and maybe counterweight, but realise that I could put all that towards an RP8..... :?

I do sometimes wonder if it is actaully worth spending money on upgrades, however you need to factor in the money you would lose on the RP6 to buy the RP8.

I am really happy with the RP6 so it is hear to stay for the time being - i may put a new Nagaoka MP200 on though to see how much improvement there is over the MP110.

The Aria has really improved everything though especially vocals.

The most important thing is that the counter weight is as close to the pivot point as possible. Fit a large rubber O-ring (or suitable rubber band) around the counter weight, it will have a fairy large effect on vibration damping. Cheaper and probably as effective as expensive after market weights.

Here's a pick of one of my tables. You can just about make out the rubber O-rings

Nice one.

I've not heard of that before, I may give it a go in the New Year.

Forums can be good can't they?

Yes, but is the RP8 superior in sound quality to a Michell gyro ?

Perceived value points towards the Michell.
