Got back from my dealer after demos on Rega 6 & Rega Planer 8.
First up was the 6 with Ania cart & Fono MC phono, Roksan Blak & Spendor A7s- not too shabby a set up. I had taken my own vinyl to listen to some Led Zep, Norah Jones & AC/DC.
The Rega 6 was a clear step up in class to the Pro - ject MM TT ( Ortofon blue) that I have. Impressed I was!
The Rega 8 was something else. I wanted to listen to it with the Aria phono but that was unavailable unfortunately. So again I had it paired with the Fono, but with the Ania Pro cart. Wow!!! What a TT! I listened to the same tracks but what a difference, clearer, instruments way more defined & the overall timbre was a massive improvement.
I figured that I would end up purchasing the Rega 6 before listening to both TTs & the 8 would be demoed more out of curiosity.I really did not forsee there being
such a difference in class between the 2
...... How wrong was I.
I'm delighted to say that I purchased the Rega 8, with Ania Pro cart & the Fono MC.
I should have it by next weekend & I couldn't be happier.
@Alan Weir 1 this is a TT you have to hear!!!!!!
