Rega system one advice as its on sale right now?


Buying my first vinyl setup. Looking around at the different options I see the rega system one kit that includes the planner 1, Io amp and Kyte speakers is on sale right now for $1349US normally $2115. Is this my best option at this price or is there anything else better around the same price or lower? Thanks in advance for any advice you all can give here.

It is an attractive combo price for a very decent first rig for sure if you are buying new instead of preowned , but two things to,consider before you pull the trigger::

- where is your LT system setup leaning: vinyl or digital?
- your room size will have a direct impact on its performance capabilities. A comparatively larger room will likely require a more robust amp and speaker option. In this case, think either REGA RX1 or RX3 speakers and move up to one of their beefier integrated amps, ( BUT ….it is more money ). HENCE …consider cobbling together a preowned system to save ~ 50% off MSRP.

It seems like a fantastic deal.

If you care about the next steps, there is no upgrade path for you other than the amp that alone is $725.

if you can try it out, it's worth for sure, because I know nothing about the speakers (and they may or may not work in your room) but I am a huge Rega fan, the turntable and amp will be fine.

 

@grislybutter   My room is 13 feet by 10.5 feet. I can spend a bit more if something better is on sale. I do see the kyte speakers  are hit or miss by reviewers on youtube but not seeing too much on sale. Looking to spend between $500-$1000 each for the turn table, amp and speakers if you or anyone else has any recommendations? Not too knowledgeable on vinyl setups so do not know the importance of each piece and what piece to put the most money into. I do see a bit of a sale on the kef q350 if anyone has experience with that brand?
