What do you guys think of the specs?

I really like the look of that new floating glass platter.

Looks nice especially with the rainbow color selection. The question is: can you use the previous TTPSU power supply (which I bought "separate" from the Rega P3-24 table which I have had for almost 4 years). Or, does the new power supply shown in the ad included with the RP6, and is not optional.

The other question is: will this model outperform the older P-5 which I assume it is replacing, and the upgraded P3-24 that Rega issued approx 6-8 months ago???

Lastly, what will be the retail price for this new table?? Thank you for the heads up!!!!!!!
Sunnyjim,

I spoke to a local Rega dealer and below is what he told me, in answer to your questions:

1. The redesigned RP6 power supply is the same as the older TTPSU, it was simply a cosmetic change to match the new Rega DAC and Rega Brio-R components.

2. Apparently, yes the new RP6 outperforms the P3-24 however; he was not sure about the P5 (RB303 vs. RB700 tonearms).

3. Retail price for new RP6 is estimated at £798.00/$1495.00 US for RP6, RB303 tonearm and re-designed RP6 PSU (no cartridge fitted).
