What to pair with Rega PS3 RS turntable?

[SailToTheMoon]

Very good current delivery.
The sound is very clinical.. Thin almost..
Demands their separate PSU XR to really come alive..
Integrated Phono is basic. Needs their separate phono stage to come alive.
Seeing a trend ?
PT have cheap deals on XR range….

In no way is the I9 XR a patch on the wee NAIT 50… PT have NAIT 50 too…….
Ask PT to B2B the I9 with the NAIT 50 and forget the A25 if you really want the best for your P3 RS

Thanks for this. I’m going to get them to demo that too

Thanks for this. I’m going to get a demo on Saturday, just having to drive for 2 hours. Getting a deal on a Cyrus i9-XR too, and will compare it to the A25 (I’m thinking the Cyrus is going to be a lot better?)

Can´t say much about those amplifiers, I don´t know them.

I pair the Focals with a Denon PMA-1600NE and when listening to them in the shop it was paired with the Denon PMA-1700NE.

The Denon/Focal combo is good I think. Plenty of power, smooth but clear and transparent, no fatigue.

Try to get half an hour to unwind after your drive. Maybe a wander in town, or a quiet coffee shop? Your ears get battered in the car, unless you drive a Rolls!

And whatever you hear first, try it again at the end, to see how you’ve acclimatised.

Good luck. PT are a good firm to deal with, so you should get good advice. Mine is don’t choose the biggest discount, but the biggest smile the music gives you.

Ohhhh. Both my AV receivers in the house are Denon and I really like them. I might ask them to let me hear the Denon PMA-1700NE with the Focals!
