Rega P8 with Alpheta 2?

You should be fine.
i ran an xyz cart with just 0.24mv output with 60db of gain quite happily

Thanks uberwaltz.

Well I went ahead and bought one. Got a bit of a deal by asking. Should be here in 7-10 days. Looking forward to hearing it.

My P8 has been shipped and should be here on Thursday. Looking forward to getting it hooked up and listening.

Got my P8 a few minutes ago and already have it set up playing music. This thing is tiny compared to my td124 in that big plinth. I’m listening to Gram Parsons, “ Grievous Angel “, and it sounds really nice. It’s plugged in to the MC section of my Mac C47 and loaded at 100 ohms. 60 dB of gain is plenty. Just changed the record to a QRP version of “Tea for the  Tillerman “. This turntable sounds really big for for such a small footprint. The highs may be a little etched but overall it’s impressive. Heard the Alpheta can take up to 100 hours to break in, so I guess I’ve got some listening to do in the next couple of weeks.
