Rega P8 with Alpheta 2?

gphill,
Mine smoothed out at 45 hours through about 75 hours.  
I find a 60 Ohm load to work much better than 100.  50 Ohms is too low.

I don’t have a 60 ohm option. May try it at 50 though. Great detail on this combination. I realize a lot of people are put off by the looks of this table, but the looks are one of the reasons I bought it. It’s meeting every expectation that I had and is sounding very nice. 

Pedal steel guitar sounds heavenly.

Gphill,

The Alphetta will smooth out after really about 20 hours of use and get a bit better after that.

The speed, articulation and sheer musicality of this combination and ease of setup and use makes the P8/Alphetta 2 such a fantastic package.

Dave and Troy I completely agree with your assessment of the P8. It’s a great turntable and a great value with the Alpheta 2.
