Rega P25 question


My friend is getting a P25 and was wondering what cartridge matches people have had good sucess with it.

I like the Garrott p-77. Anyone heard it on a P25?

Thanks as always, Benthar

If you have a Phonoe stage that can handle low-output MC, try a Denon DL103 (or the 103R). I have the 103, bought the thing for 200 bucks, and it really is amazing. I previously had the Dynavector 10x4 which I certainly did enjoy, but I enjoy the Denon a lot more.

Grados can work well on Rega arms, however...I have not used the P25 myself but have heard complaints that certain Grados will sometimes hum on Rega TTs, as can sometimes be the case with ARs and VPI HWs...maybe someone with direct experince can elaborate...
Todd,

Thanks for the reco. Are we talking about the Denon 103 on a Rega p25? I assume yes, but please tell me.
I'm using the Denon 103R on my P25 and I really like the sound. And, at $259 shipped from Japan it didn't break the bank either.

I was using a Rega Exact before... but the Denon is worlds better to my ears.

Hello,

I use a Goldring 1042 with my Rega P25. This cartridge is a good match for several motives. Firstly, this cartridge works well in a medium mass tonearm as the RB600. In this case, you will not have any problem with warped records. Also, the musical personnality of the P25 which is sweet, detailed and warm is a good team with the dynamic goldring. If you use a warm and dynamic amp with a neutral and dynamic speaker, you will be very satisfied with the goldring. It's not a good idea to use the goldring with a bright speaker. Lastly, it's easy to change the tip!
