Rega Elys II cartridge: Is it worth the money??

Audiofeil's answer illustrate what is wrong with the hi-end today.

jelous dealer who will try to sell their products and try to kill the competitors no matter what.

Rega is run by a passionate group of 'proper' engineers,not by ex-hifi salesmen who think that they know everything ,hence start a hi-fi company

It also just show how little the word heritage ,and the importance of properly engineered products,are appreciated by people in the frontline of hi-fi ;the dealers.

That is correct Dopogue but if you read some of my other posts there are products I endorse not in my line.

You failed to mention that.

Conveniently I might add.

Sorry, Audiofeil, I haven't kept up with what you sell and what you don't sell. Didn't know I was supposed to.

I've owned lots of products built by high end audio manufacturers, among which is Rega. I have only good things to say about their products. They perform well, are cost effective, and have great durability. I would rank them near the top of trusted manufacturers.

IMHO, Rega's RB300 is probably the best value proposition in my 30+ years
in this silly hobby and, interestingly, despite their performance
(unremarkable, IME) the carts become viable options for RB owners simply
because the clever mounting system covers a multitude of potential sins.

I also own an Apollo - fine but so are many others at the price. I've
extensively shopped the higher end 'tables via A/B comparisons and never
found them competitive. The electronics (on the few ocassions I've heard
them) have not sounded particularly noteworthy. I wonder if the rest of the
line gets a free ride on the (deserved) rep of the arms. Certainly not bad
stuff, and certainly priced fairly, but I've never found any of their products
compelling. Just
MHO.
