Rega Isis??


Just wondering if anyone has heard this player yet?

i have a dealer down the road and i have heard this unit, it is built like a tank, why would it not be, it is so natural sounding that i can not hear any difference from lps on a great table, the one thing i did hear that was immediate, the overall depth of the bottom end was immediate, tight and articulate. the openness was that of lp/table, but with a quieter background and more control. i think it is one of the best redbooks units i have ever heard and that includes some from linn, naim, krell, cary, esoteric. if you have the system to put it into it would be excellent. i heard the unit with the pre and power that goes with the unit. it was with totem speakers which i like alot and tend to be somewhat on the bright side with its tweeter...also heard it with lsa speakers, which is a speaker that is under the radar...hope this helps....boy that unit is expensive..but with a great int. or sperates with a nice room, it is very nice. i heard it with lfd intergrated amp, made in england and only makes amps that i am aware ....with b& w speakers and it was great. i am a big fan of source...it all begin with the source...
Hi Camali,

Having first heard the Rega Isis back in September 2009, I now own one.
At the time of first hearing this I was looking towards vinyl (purchased a 2nd hand deck/arm/cartridge) to obtain the engaging music I had back in the late 80's, I can honestly say that the Isis has more than satisfied this and pursuit of vinyl based system has been put on hold, the 2nd hand deck is now residing in a cupboard gathering dust.

Best
