What brand did you leave Rega for?

I went from a Rega Planar 2 (my first TT) to a Pink Triangle, retaining the RB250 tonearm on the PT. This was about 25 years ago though and there have been many more since then! The PT was a massive step-up from the Rega at the time.

Rega Planar 3 to Oracle Delphi II, III and V, Sota Sapphire, Star and Cosmos IV, Transrotor Fat Bob, Custom PTP Lenco L75, Custom plinth Technics SP10, Solid Aluminum plinth Empire 208 and assorted others.

Is interesting to see most of the posters here went from a 1st or 2nd tier rega to a much higher end table (both cost and performance). I think in the $1000 to $1500 range the RP6 is a hard one to beat (I got a steal on mine). Looking forward to trying a AT33PTG/II cart on it very soon.

VPI and a step up from Fisher-Price

Never really "left" rega, but did embark on a series of upgrade including...

Started life as a rega planar II 30 years ago, then upgraded as follows
- rb250 arm
-SRM/TECH Deluxe Acrylic Platter
- Cardas monolithic rewire kit
- Michell Technoweight
- ISOsub GT 2 S UPGRADE SUB PLATTER
- Rega II Motor Upgrade kit

Now on my final upgrade to an audiomods series 3 arm

Also made a new plinth that works so much better than the crappy rega one.

If I had my time over - I'd probably go for a vpi
