Turntables

Regas are about as idiot proof as a turntable can get but not necessarily audiophile proof. Do things Regas way and they’re fine but pick something else if you want adjustability to fine tune or accommodate different cartridges they’re not the answer. Used on its own terms a p10 is a pretty decent deck and Regas top phonostage is the perfect match for it.

If DD is of interest the STST Motus DQ might be worth researching. Yes more than a P10. Also great with a Kuzma 4pt or Primary Control Arrow arm but still very good with a Groovemaster III for example.

Disclosure: I represent STST :)

If you have a sturdy and nonresonant shelf or base for it, Rega P10 is just fine. Go for it.

Of coarse Rega sells their own wall shelf as well.

I've not heard the 10, only the 8.

It was easily amongst the best turntables I have heard.

By that I mean to say that if someone had told me that I was listening to a reel to reel tape deck I would not have been surprised.

Virtually no surface noise, stable image, rock solid timing, and a feeling of assurance rare in turntable replay.

Perhaps, and it's only perhaps, there could have been even more bandwidth and a deeper bass.

The only other area I've heard anything significantly better was in image size and depth, but that system featured entirely different amps, speakers and room, so who knows?

Anyway, it completely transformed my opinions of the Rega P8. 

Perhaps, sometimes less is more?
